I could have been stubborn and refused to stop and heal my leg. And through this month, I’ve been tempted to get back out there and run, though my knee isn’t fully healed. But I know that further damage could force a longer recovery.
Tenacity has gotten me through some challenging circumstances. Crossing that line into stubbornness can only make things worse. I still believe I can train for a half-marathon in the future. There is still time. But refusing to change plans when setbacks happen is only going to delay my goal.
Be tenacious. However, don’t cross the line into simply being stubborn.
