We're still doing sprints in my rowing class. Up until a couple weeks ago, my personal best time had been 1:44/500 meters. Last week, I hit 1:40, and I felt like I hauled ass! So, naturally, the next step is to break that time. I wanted to hit 1:39. Well, I didn't hit it yesterday. I was really close, but couldn't quite get there. I didn't hit it in the first 2 sprints today either. But, I asked to do one more. I was only 1 second off and it killed me. So, I did another sprint. And, I hit it! 1:39/500 meters.
Periodically I ask myself why I'm still blogging. Some days I have something to say, but others I really don't. However, today was the reason I'm still here. I was able to go back and compare my personal best from a few months ago to see the progress I've made. I could see, in black and white, in my own words, that my best today is 10 seconds faster than my best from a few months ago. That's what will keep me going.
