Now, this past week was my first full week back working, working out and running and it was really tough, I managed to keep my upper body strength close to the same, but I’m tiring much more quickly and my muscles are much more sore than they were in the month before Christmas, on top of this my leg strength feels like it’s shot, I’m scared to do any variation of squat with heavy weights because I’m afraid my ego won’t be able to handle this, and my first run back was abysmal, it took me 35 minutes to run almost 3 miles and I had to walk several times. This is more than 15 minutes slower than it would have taken me to cover the same distance 2 weeks before Christmas, I was demoralized by it and I strongly considered taking a break from running, because my attitude in that moment was - ‘what’s the point I don’t want to feel like garbage when I do this and it will take me months to get to the speed I was running before.’

It’s a new year and for me this is a time of reflection, thoughtfulness and trying to figure out if I’m living the way I want to live and accomplishing the goals that I want to accomplish. Not only in my own personal health and fitness, but also in the health of my relationships with my family and close friends and also in the strength and direction of Fitness For Freedom.
I think a lot of people take the time to do this, I mean I hope that many people take the time to do this, since you’re listening to this right now I can only assume that you’re at least interested in being a healthier and more fit person. To be clear I’m not talking about New Year’s resolutions or some kind of a SMART goal...
