… life happens. Some things we have choices about and others we don’t. Some things we’re willing to accept and some we won’t.
I decided the other day after LAST WEEK'S RUN AND 'ROUND OF SICKNESS that perhaps I should just scale everything back. Forget where I was, but not be afraid to begin again.
Go right back to where I started -- THE COUCH TO 5K PROGRAM. I don’t need to spend hours on the road pretending I’m the same athlete that RAN A 10K RACE. I am an athlete recovering from an injury who needs to go back to the beginning and there is no shame in that at all. If I did it once, I can do it again.
Today began WEEK ONE - DAY ONE 1.98 MILES on a beautiful Autumnal afternoon. 30 minutes, just me and my best intentions out there doing what I can, where I am.
When I saw my shadow – even for the brief 45 second interval, I remembered walking around Vegas with an orthopaedic boot…
I am thankful for those 45 seconds of running.
