Motivation Monday on Wednesday

As the weather gets warmer the random blog posts go away and more serious posts about diabetes and cycling appear.  Unfortunately it was 42 degrees, windy and damp today.  Days like this really test you as a person but I have found that even a small test like dealing with the cold all day play into how serious of an athlete you are.  The athlete that isn't motivated takes today off and waits for warmer weather.  The average athlete complains about the weather but gets a small workout in. The elite/professional athlete goes that extra mile, if they were scheduled to ride at a race pace they do that and then go for a cool down ride and enjoy every minute of it because they know that they will see conditions like this again.  

I'm not sure where I fall but I need a little pep talk before heading out and dislike that initial cold shock to the body.  Once I'm out there and get going however it is game on, I love running and being on the bike.  The worse the conditions the better I perform, for whatever reason I never like when things are easy.  I love a challenge and love the pain.  What does this all mean???  It means that I found a great motivational video on YouTube today and had to share it.  I hope that video gives you that extra kick in the butt and helps you in some way.
