So since I have recovered from my ankle and knee injury I have reestablished my training regime. It's been difficult though because I sometimes cannot think about what it is I want to do and start to worry about what it is that has to be done. As I was thinking that the other day in the kitchen while enjoying a delicious cup of water..."yes water" I looked up above the fridge and saw my Jack Lallane Power Juicer and emediately I remembered his "Don't Worry" Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jq4o2Zx4ZQ disregarding that he accedentally flicked off the camera while being on live tv his words went through my head and I realized that I was worrying in the way that was destructive.
I have found it hard to get outside and train partially due to being lazy and partially to being timid because of my injury. Today I finally got out trained a little bit with Justin at ASU after a meeting. Basically I am just making sure to have a good warmup and then I am not going to focus to much on specifics for the next month. I am just going to have pure fun and mess around to allow my body to get back into the swing of things. I'm going to be spontaneous with it too. I think that is what i need right now.
Also because I am not fully recovered I still have to do my ankle and knee rehab.
I am very happy right now something I havent been for a couple of weeks. Just letting the worry ago and going to enjoy myself.
Peace

Worrying is interesting, it can be both motivating and demotivating at the same time. Although I am nowhere near as athletically inclined as you are; my ankle has actually motivated me to move more. I am worried I may have some permanent damage so I want to force it to work so all the muscles heal correctly. You know so many disciplines of movement that I can see how it could be a challenge to decide what you want to do every day. I think as we get older and more bogged down in the daily struggle to survive and achieve goals it is hard to remember to just go play. So many concerns, worries, fears and distractions crowd out who we really are. I used to go just zen out in parks and lean on a tree and listen to the world go by that always helped me. Probably about time to do that again. Have a great rest of the week !
