So, I decided on Tuesday to jog around the University Lake like I did on Monday and headed there right after work with pure excitement. Why? Jogging allows me to think, clear my mind and enjoy my surroundings. Also, I was told around 5pm was a good time to jog since it was not too busy. I got into my zone to accomplish 3 miles, set my fitness watch and got my warm up started; within 2 minutes I was in my jogging zone around the lake until I was faced with a jog "block" that I did not see coming.
Earlier, navigating the geese poop was more than enough to keep up with but having a portion of the boardwalk roped off was not in the plan.
I had three options at this point: stop my jog and go home, jump in the yucky lake water and swim around the caution roped off area or sprint through the work area and continue with my jog. At this point, I thought about it for a few seconds while jogging in place then dashed over the woven ropes and sprinted through their work area and continued along. My mind was set on accomplishing a 3 mile jog so finding a way around my 'jog' block was imperative. By the 3rd time around, I looked right at the men and kept going; I believe they realized I was not to be stopped prematurely.
In the end, I reflected on my beautiful scenery totally sweaty & victorious. 
Fitness roadblocks??
What have you allowed to set you back and why?
