Persist and Endure

Just wanted to share some thoughts on endurance.  I realized this morning that I can endure anything.....IF I put my mind to it, put my heart into it, surround myself with people and things that motivate me to push forward. 

I had a moment last night...I was at the pool to practice but no one was there.  I sat, waited, debated....sat, waited, and debated.....went to the showers.....waited again and decided to leave. By the time I got to the bottom of the hill, I felt horrible that I had abandoned the one sport that I am weakest in....."How could I?"  Easy.....no one was there to help, I can't swim alone, I'm afraid.....or at least these are the things I told myself.  I turned the truck around and went back.  When I returned, there were two other Tri It For Life swimmers there who were getting changed.  Both had no idea how to swim 6 weeks earlier. I greatly appreciate the swimmer that told me she comes every Wednesday---whether she has to swim alone or not.  Persist.

SO, with that I resigned to the thought and commitment to swim.  Do it if I'm alone or with others.  Endure.

I'll have to make sure I tell her what she did for me that day after we officially become triathletes.
