Adjustments

It’s been said that change is the only constant. I wholeheartedly agree. If you know me, you know I not only embrace change, but thrive on change. The key to successful change, I’ve found is being willing and open to making adjustments when the circumstances change. In otherwords, if you have a goal you’re most likely going to have to change either your goal or the actions leading to the goal if you are going to be successful.

I’m in training for my sixth marathon in Hartford, CT this fall. During the last week, we’ve had some significant heat and some cooling. We’ve also had a short round of sick children in our home, which causes sleeping issues for my wife and me.

Regardless of the temperature and humidity and sick children, the training for the marathon must go on - without training, I just wouldn’t be able to do the marathon.

So what am I to do? Adjust my training schedule. Maybe after one night of being up with the children time after time I decide to skip my core exercises for the next day - I need sleep instead. Doing the core exercises would actually be worse for me since my body would be worn down and there would be a greater risk for injury.
