Man, coming out of a base season I feel like I never really started is rough. My motivation level throughout March was low and three weeks out from my first sprint triathlon of the season, I’m still not as fired up as I should be to get out and train.
Over the years, I’ve come to know this period as the dog days. It can be the dog days of training, the dog days of work or the dog days of life in general. I just feel like lounging around and doing nothing of significance whatsoever…much like my dog Max.
Max caught illegally napping on the couch.
Those are the days, or weeks, where I see Max in full relaxation mode and say, “Man, I wish I had your lifestyle today.”
That attitude is OK for a day or two. The downside comes when it ends up going from a day or two to a full month.
Funny thing is, once the fire is re-stoked, it’s re-stoked. And it happens in the blink of an eye.
I’m still waiting for that blink.
Find your edge and dance upon it…although it’s tempting to lounge on it every once in a while.
