Has not always been my strong suit. You've of course heard my grumbling about the physical lack there of, but I admit that in a more figurative sense I also tend to be a bit straight. I think I'm possessed of a somewhat irrational fear that flexibility will turn to malleability, and the very idea of being moulded by the thoughts or opinions of others sends me into some kind of seizures!
I think I'm getting better however at differentiating between the related conditions, and thereby allowing a little more fluidity into my life, and that of those around me.
And I also think it's fair to say that we all have things were stubborn about, and other things where we're prepared to give a little.
And although I'm quite persistent when it comes to completing a workout I've committed to, I do believe that in the overall picture of my training I am pretty willing to consider change as appropriate. I'll have an opportunity this weekend as tomorrow is supposed to be long ride day, and it sure ain't gonna be long ride weather! I will decide in the morning, but I am seriously considering switching tomorrow's long bike, with Mondays long run. The only real concern I have is my calf muscle which really doesn't need the change. I'll let you know what transpires. I
And one thing I know for sure is that I'm a lot more flexible than the clothesline. It it had any flexibility at all it would have stretched a little when I drove into with the front end loader! Instead it just ripped the guide wire right out of the ground, and bent the stupid post over!! Damn! Oh well. It's raining anyway....who needs a clothesline?
