success is stringing good days

I wrote this title thinking about injury recovery, but it applies to any desired skill acquisition as well. Getting better or better at something isn't the result of one really good day just as failing isn't the result of one really bad day. Consistency of effort is what gathers momentum.

Where injuries are applicable. Two weeks ago I decided I was better than the plan I was running (call back to previous posts). I added a shitton of new stuff in - going heavier, doing squats I had never tried, adding full range of motion lateral squats. Once I felt the numbness creep back in my knee, I knew I had fucked up. 

Fast forward to today. My knee feels...fine. it's fine. But the anxiety over whether or not it can get better is gone. I already did this once, and recently at that. If every day I can strive to be pain free and hit the plan (humane burpee + ez strength + stretching) the signals will be heard. It can't not.
