The Skinny: 15 Pax arrived to the ETSU soccer field trail ready to complete a 5K. Pax chose to run or walk individually or in small groups to complete about 6 laps on the trail. Shop Vac made a cameo appearance for a few miles, and we had a few doggies join us too! Everyone seemed to really enjoy the challenge and the change of pace from our usual workouts.
COT: The concept of “summit fever” means that whatever it takes, you get to the top of the mountain because you want to achieve your goal; however, typically it is not a good thing because it gets in the way of rationale judgement and can cause you to ignore red flags that can get you into trouble. I recently started using this idea as a way to reframe the constant daily change that is occurring in so many of our lives. Although it can be mentally taxing to constantly feel like we have to change plans, it is not wise to push on ahead regardless of warning signs telling us that our plans need to change; when we continuously test the waters and adjust accordingly, we will be better off in the long run.
