Starting is easy, but midway through, something starts to hurt.
Just when you think you’ve mastered a distance, you add on a few more, thinking it will be nothing and hurt even more.
Figuring out your pace is hard; some days you are on fire, other days you’re way behind.
To improve, you need to show up every day.
It’s not only about running, mixing in biking and hills can help, but they aren’t always running, it’s something else.
If you’re running for fun, that’s great, but most people have a goal in mind, and reaching that goal can be hard.
Now replace running with whatever else it is you are trying to do.
Learning a new software language.
Learning to draw.
Learning to lead a team.
Learning to build an app.
No one likes the work in the middle to get from the “great idea” to “something,” but that work is the work that matters most.
You’re not on the wrong path, you’re just frustrated you’re not at your something soon enough.
