\n

As I’m getting back into running I’ve had times where I’ve had to walk every hill – every single hill, even small ones and short ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now as my running is becoming more consistent sometimes I can continue to run up a hill, but sometimes, I still have to walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some days I have to walk the same hill that I just ran the day before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would frustrate me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now I’m coming to terms with it. Progress is not linear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And, there are many, many variables that can affect a run. It might be hotter or cooler. It might be sunnier or windier. I might be tired from working all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, these are not excuses. This is reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can’t downplay those variables of reality. But how often do we downplay these? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it is good to run up a hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it is also ok and good to walk up a hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is yet another parallel between running and life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we may need to have a goal of getting just ONE thing done in a day. Or, maybe not even that. Maybe the goal is to do nothing. Sometimes Rest IS<\/em> Best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we may have a day with a pretty long to do list to conquer. And so we run up that hill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is the in-between, finding the balance, and being ok with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can’t keep running up the hill all day everyday. Or, I mean we could, but the result is we crash and roll down the other side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By walking up that hill, taking a break from work, and even resting, we can run strong down the other side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it’s ok and good to walk that hill. Just keep going!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
