It's not about That Guy

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks of workouts. Legs, back, knees are feeling old when just a few weeks ago they had new life in them.  It's interesting how personal situations can have an impact on workouts.

The last couple months have been a struggle. New situations that weren't expected, adjusting to new circumstances. It's taken its toll on my workouts and my attitude. It's been interesting how it has effected my workouts.

The issue is sister in law needing to move in with us. It's a situation neither Rachel nor I are excited about but know it's necessary for, hopefully, the short term. I'm still dealing with the intrusion into my quiet mornings of sipping coffee, reading the news and getting ready for a morning run. I enjoyed that morning solitude. Now I have to share it.

I am glad we are able to provide the support, but I also resent that we have too because of the lack of motivation and use of other family members she has displayed over the last couple of years. We are her last resort and we will not tolerate her excuses.  She has issues to overcome, but we all do. Hers seem no more difficult than others I've seen.

I need to adjust. I will, but it's taking longer than I thought.
