I reached a goal last Tuesday in class that I had ... well, not despaired of, exactly, but perhaps shunted aside. Maybe I had decided it wasn't as important as when I set it. Maybe I thought that the effort wasn't worth the result. So, as we started the "how many pushups can you do in a minute" sequence in class, I had a surge of strength and ended up hitting the 50 military pushup/minute mark -- much to my surprise.
I set the goal in March 2008 of continual military pushups for a full minute, refined it to a more specific goal of 50 a few months later, so it's been well over a year. Now, since I had to put my knee down three times to reach 50, I have more work to do to make it better.
Sometimes when it's been a while since reaching a goal, it's hard to remember how good it feels.
