Success in Sweatpants

I met my project goals over the weekend. Some were interim deadlines leading up to a big delivery date this week, others were complete as they stood.

It was exhilarating to reach the end of the day having crossed all project items off. Euphoric almost.

Then, the alarm went off the next morning, and there I was: Looking at another day’s list of project items to be done by end of day. Argh

This must be what it’s like to be an athlete. Nail the workout or training session today, and celebrate. Get up the next morning, and there’s another workout or training session to do.

What makes the athlete do it? What makes me do it? We both have goals that we can’t get to without these daily sessions. So we better learn to love the process!!!
