Day 5

todays blog you will hear all about the great adventures of hiking on our rest day..yes for all it is great..when it’s great it is all good..i speak for myself not in a negative way but it’s just the nature of the beast..you’re happy, you’re in kona, how bad is it as I’m siting and viewing the ocean.. ? well it’s not bad at all to be in a beautiful place..and with like minded people..what happens when things aren’t exactly as you had dreamed of and wished for- it does happen but do you really think of that? or prepare yourself for that? i know i didn’t..i was beyond excited and my expectations were high of myself..so here i am injured 2nd day of camp.. it kinda throws your for a loop..you really try to take the high road but it’s not that easy.. yes it’s part of the sport and we all deal with it from time to time but when you fly so far , worked so hard, your dream is just so close and you come here to prepare..you do what your body will allow but it’s not exactly able to train with others and go through the training effort and challenges, how far can you push…so what does this have to do with day 5 rest day – because this was my rest day..thinking of how can i overcome this challenge, a very different challenge..THE MIND..i came here to have a comeback after a 2 year struggle of stuff..i dreamed of this day to come back and here i am 5 years later..dreaming of coming home stronger then ever..the sacrifices i made and here i am with a clouded mind..what will be ? I know there will be a positive result but in the meantime my mind is clouded trying to figure out why? maybe i should rest my mind and just be..stop fighting the reason and let things fall as they may and strength will find me..perhaps this is what epic camp 2016 is for me.. and if you look at it that way it’s perfect ..
