The joy of having a training plan that I don’t really need to follow

I’m a planner. I like plans. I like knowing the when, the where, and mostly, the why.

Ask my husband.

Actually, don’t ask him. I ask him enough questions. I wonder if I was this inquisitive when I was a child. I ask “Why?” more than any other question.

I question everything and everyone. I want to know why things are the way they aren’t. I ask why they can’t be different or why they can’t stay the same. I ask what’s on people’s minds. I ask why they aren’t thinking of anything.

It puts me at ease when I know the why behind something.

When it comes to training, I need a “why?”.

So when Leadville was canceled, I needed a plan. I didn’t have a backup plan. And like any great heist (as I’m learning from La Casa de Papel), there needs to be backup plans. Yes, plural.

See, in the Netflix series, Money Heist (a.k.a. La Casa de Papel), The Professor describes their robbery as a game of chess. To win the match, you have to be two steps ahead of your opponent. And no matter how bad their situation gets, The Professor always makes a life-saving move.

My life is nothing like Money Heist.
