The sun was shining all day long. The temperatures broke the 60 degree mark. I looked out the window longingly from 9a until 6p. I decided mid-afternoon that I would go for a run/jog after work. I just couldn't resist. I had put it off long enough.
There was a huge hurdle, mostly a mental one, in getting going again. I was so afraid that I would be back to square one again and not be able to finish my route. I was really dreading that. It took me several weeks from when I started to be able to run the route without having to stop and walk.
I was pleasantly surprised this evening. I was certainly slower than the last time I ran, but I finished! My small accomplishment for this warm St. Patrick's Day 2010. I cleared the hurdle and I'm ready to go.
Sometimes that's all it takes - that little determination!
Exactly! It was really scary but felt really good in the end.
