30/67 Bulldogs

Today was one catch-up day of three, and my goal was to make up 20/60 minutes. That meant 80 minutes today. Bloody bloody hard. But I found that I do have the willpower and did the longest gym session I have done so far. When you have to and you believe you can, you do. Even when your legs are trembling and the sweat is dripping down your back. 

Mike has often teased me for being a bulldog,  albeit in other situations where it's not my best characteristic, but then admits it's one of the things he likes about me. I go at things, and don't easily give up. And if I say I will do something, I will. Nature or nurture? I am not sure, except that it is a value that was important in my upbringing. We've had arguments when we disagree over when it is okay to change your mind, like when it impacts on someone else. In some cases I have softened on this one, learned a little more flexibility. I don't like letting other people down. But, it is often a tough one for me.
