Yesterday's workout was interrupted by a family emergency and I spent the entire day at the hospital. Not fun. I actually felt more tired last night than I usually do when I work out hard. I can understand why it would be difficult to find time to workout if your days go like that. I suppose I'd get used to it eventually but it would be quite an adjustment.
The good news is all is well and back to normal. I got up this morning and got back on track. I ran 12 miles. It was humid. I was still tired. And parts of my run, especially the beginning, were more difficult than usual. But I made it through.
That's the important thing about maintaining fitness, for me at least. It's getting through the difficult days. Finding the proper motivation helps as well as knowing that I will get through it and be really glad I did when I'm finished.
