Is it Time For Some Golf?

Good morning.

Beautiful day here in Chicago. It is sunny, no wind and the temp should reach around mid 60's. It's the kind of day that makes it hard to decide which outdoor activities to embark upon. Of course, there is my career to attend to. After that, hmmm?

Aside from all the training I definitely need to start working on my golf game. I am playing in an event with my father in law in June and don't want to let him down. Usually, I have entered all kinds of various golf tournaments by this time of year. This year I have entered none so far. I should look into some events to enter like: Illinois State Am, Illinois Senior Open, United States Senior Open, etc. Not sure how much time I want to devote to golf this year.

I think part of my hesitation for golf is that I hate the traffic around here. But, it is part of who I am and I should probably tune up the game.

Yesterday was just a running day. I decided to run my six mile route and just run a little faster than normal. My legs felt ready and bouncy. The pace picked up from where I expected and it turned into a tempo run and then into a fast continous run. So much for discipline.

Today will most likely be another swimming and bike day. But, I am still thinking about this. I may just bike later.

" Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own, sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction."

* It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin
