With any type of problem you often only have 2 options: A) To fail and give up or B) Give it all you have and get er’ done!

Yesterday I participated in the Tour De North End in Rockford, IL. Although it was only about 7 miles, we averaged a pace of only 5 mph. I welcomed the slow pace since I do 12-18 mph most other days.

This morning I was as sore I could be. My neck ached, my arms ached, and my legs were sore. I had the option of getting up for the day and going to church or I could have just stayed home, staying still. I chose to get up fir the day and I am so glad that I did. It was nice to clear my mind again at Church and I knew I may not make it there the next few weeks since I am doing some Time Trials.

As with any choice you need to evaluate all the different circumstances and scenarios. What may work for one thing may not work for another. Are you choosing the best option in life for yourself or is someone else choosing for you?
