"it's not easy for anyone or else everyone would do it"

"it's not easy for anyone or else everyone would do it" is what one of the trainers from the gym I work out at wrote on her blog. This really spoke to me when I read it. I have been pushing myself to get to the gym 6 days a week for 3 weeks now. Some days I look forward to going, but days like today are hard. I am sore; my shin splints are coming back, I have knee pain and I think I'm getting a cold. It was not easy to get to the gym, but I had to tell myself that I would go easy, and if I wanted to leave after 20 minutes I could. I had to remind myself of Edie's blog post. Some days even she doesn't want to get her workout in, and she is an excellent athlete! If it were easy, everyone WOULD do it. Somedays you gave to show up yourself and everyone else who would have stayed home. Only I can keep me from my goals. No one said this will be easy, but I know other days will be better and so will I.
