You know Sarah, the idea here is to remain enthusiastic for the rest of your life.
This is easier said than done because after a while we get jaded. That is why a woodcutter who stops and sharpens his ax will cut more trees.
We need to know we are progressing. That is why I need to weigh myself every morning. It is a daily reminder that I am on a journey to achieve something.
That journey requires me to win the day, every day for the next 4 years if I want to reach my destination.
I cannot slack and I cannot be complacent.
I had won Bronze. Next is for me to win Silver. It cannot be another 5 months. I got to up my ante. I need to hit 69 kg by the time I am ready for my hill run training.
Hey, you spin Gold before I post this. Is it a coincidence?

How to reduce inflammation as an athlete?
Add extra produce to your plate by eating more fruits and vegetables, which contain antioxidants and phytochemicals that fight inflammation. Include anti-inflammatory foods, such as tart cherry juice, turmeric, and fish oil to your daily diet, especially during heavy training periods.
Merad and colleagues showed that intermittent fasting reduced the release of pro-inflammatory cells called “monocytes” in blood circulation. Further investigations revealed that during periods of fasting, these cells go into “sleep mode” and are less inflammatory than monocytes found in those who were fed.
As long as I can minimize inflammation, I can go the extra mile.
