The Head Waffle

Yesterday was the day. I could no longer avoid it. I needed to get some Vo2max interval in my legs.
I was already making excuses on my pedal over to via Chaparral. The mind was engaged in full fledged civil war. I was already making bargins... rationalizations and justifications.
Enough was enough... If you want to do well in cycling you have to pay the pain bank and today they were calling in the margin.
Today was the day.

Pyrimiding VO2 MAX interval on Via Chaparral

There are those who believe you must ignore that inner monologue or tune out the pain. I beleive that it MUST not be ignored. I choose to incorporate everything. I do not deny the negativity or deny the pain. Instead I choose to focus on it intently. Observe the mind, bring presense into the only real reality and imbrace and focus on the pain, savoring the burn.

or somthing like that right?
