I’m away for the weekend with some friends at the beach and in holidays like this you realise see what your priorities are. I went to bed earlier than everyone else on Friday night and was up early to do a 12km run, meeting everyone out for coffee and breakfast afterwards. Whilst that isn’t very out of the ordinary it did make me realise how my rehab and training comes before many other things in life.
Many people write down their priorities or think that certain things are a high priority for them. You only find this out when in a situation which challenges you to make a choice. If the default is going for a run, over spending more time drinking, you know where your priorities lie, and vice versa, if you choose to stay and drink more, then sleep in and miss your run, it’s clear where the higher priority lies.
Neither of these are the ‘right’ priority, socialising is almost as important (more important for some) as exercising. This was just an interesting observation I’ve had and it’s nice to be able to see really where my priorities lie.
