Perspective

It's important to keep things in perspective...it's difficult to do so at times, but it's important nonetheless. I've had a slight bump in the road that leads to Moab (or anywhere for that matter). And because of it, my training has suffered. My body is not 100% (far from it right now), and therefore, my mind is not 100% either. I have big expectations for Moab this year and regardless of the circumstances, that has not changed. I should probably re-evaluate things, but I can't. I'll just have to dig deeper, try harder and suffer more, keeping it all in perspective. I will take comfort in knowing that had things gone in a different direction this past week, I would be in an entirely different world of hurt and Moab would be the furthest thing from my mind. So I'm going in to Moab feeling grateful for the opportunity to be there, grateful for the pain, the suffering, the joy, the triumph, the entire experience. All the while, keeping everything in perspective!
