Fragile

Plans are such fragile things.

This Christmas I'd planned to stay active by going for some lovely runs. It is now six days in and I haven't jogged an inch. A stupid nasty old cold has put an end to that idea.

In Jiu-Jitsu I am planning to complete my level requirements by next December. This means I'll need to complete 16 months of training in under 11 months. Not really hard, but there is little wiggle room. Anything could mess it up.

A bout with a flu, or an injury, or even a vacation with my lovely wife could cause an irreparable complication.

Not that it's really a problem. The goal is totally self- imposed.

So the fragility of the plan is really just an interesting aspect of the whole idea.
