Over a month has passed since my last post. It's crazy how time flies. I think I can describe my experience like a person who's never used a treadmill before. As I started I was a little uncertain about the fact that I was on this machine that was moving, I wasn't sure if I could handle it, how to react to it, etc. Then over time, I realized that if I kept putting one foot ahead of the other, I was ok. Walking, a skill I was familiar with already, could be applied to solve the problem. I had the tools to deal with it! Life is good! Then, just as I was getting comfortable with this walking thing, I began to notice that the speed was being altered... there were periods of increasing pace which took me off guard...but once again, just needed to get my bearings and do what I knew how to do. Then, just as I was getting comfortable again, the whole treadmill started to move upwards. A little less surprised by this "shake up", I knew I could manage the incline by adjusting my pace, maybe doing some strength training on the side to build up my strength and skills.
I think I mentioned this before, but I'm continuing to become more comfortable and excited to experience those uncomfortable moments where I'm pushed out of my element and forced to grow. It's fun to see how far my limits can be stretched.
