September Blues

When ideas become too complicated, and the pursuit of perfection is misconstrued as a need for excess. When there is so much involved that individual components cannot be discerned. When it is hard to break the rules of excess. Then new rules need to be established. It descends back to the beginning where the construction of things visual or aural is too uncomplicated to not be beautiful. But this is done in the knowledge that we can only become simple to a point and then there is nowhere else to go. There are definite natural things which cannot be broken down into lesser components. Even if the goal for achieving beauty from simplicity is aesthetically less exciting it may force the mind to acknowledge the simple components that make the complicated beautiful.

The quest for sub-26 is less then 8 days away, and these past four days have been anything but satisfying. It seems like these small nagging injuries are growing day by day. I'm trying my best to push through them with the whole "Mind over Matter", but sometimes you question everything you do because of something so small. I'm going to spend these next seven days focusing on getting healthy and making sure I am 100% ready to go on October 1st, because when I toe that old silly spray painted line, it's time to let everything go and be free. Until then it's back to basics. Run, Ice bath, Stretch - Repeat.
