Ignoring

This morning, getting into the shower, I glanced down and caught a glimpse of my right calf. It's a part of my body that I don't spend any time contemplating.

However, while I have been ignoring my calf, it has been working hard in the gym and the pool. While I knew my calf was with me during those long hours on the treadmill and in the pool, it did not occur to me to check in with it to assess it's progress.

Happily, my calf has done a great job of shedding it's excess fat and building muscle. This morning, I'm happy for it and for me.

I still have a long way to go. And it will take muscles, like my newly reintroduced calf, to carry me the distance.
