]]> Decided my skating whilst baby wearing skills are not skate park ready so grabbed the camera on my way out the door – its like a magic pass that lets you stay in the action without wearing wheels. Challenges included the weather fluctuating from bright sun to overcast; me walking up a ramp then having to scoot down it on my butt as it was so steep; and the baby falling asleep on my right arm so I had to focus the camera using my nose (as I prefer back button focus). Was great to catch up with some old skate family cut short too quickly by the pouring rain…

]]> I haven’t trained for over a week and it feels crap.  Yep – there are legitimate reasons to miss training and then there is the generic I can’t be stuffed.

The whole parenting gig means I’m so sleep deprived my coffee needs a coffee…. and that I sometimes (read 99.98% of the time) do not have control over what I can do with my time if the baby so decides, but there are a few things I say to myself that get me training anyways:

  • My health is important – staying active is a pretty big contributor to well being both physical and mental. And nowadays its not just me that relies on me
  • My team is relying on me – its kinda hard to predict the play if you haven’t practiced the play.
  • I’ve never once regretted training once I actually get my butt there!

^^ that last one is the biggie.  I’m pretty sure we all have that warm/sore/fuzzy/endorphin fueled post activity feels, yet we manage to so easily forget when its cold, dark and the couch seems to be a gravity well.  It helps to take a moment after training to store for later so you can remind yourself next time the front door seems a million miles away.

Anyways, I’m full of snot – a legitimate reason not to train because a) my health is important, b) my teammates health is important and c) if you can’t breath you can’t train…  so this is a short one…  Comment for me to read on my sick bed: what stops you from training? And then more importantly what gets you to training?  (And remember you can share that story to support, encourage and inspire each other at thisgirlcan.com.au and you could be selected for the This Girl Can Victoria campaign launching in early 2018.)
