Back on track

From laziness, to an injury, to celebrating, I missed every run this week. That was until this afternoon - I decided it was time to get back on track.

It was really easy to get off track. I missed my Tuesday run, mainly, because I was lazy. Missed Wednesday's run due to a strange "pop" in my calf. Then I missed Saturday's run, because I was out celebrating my new job Friday night.

Before I knew it, it's Sunday and I realized I hadn't run all week. So, I went out running this evening, determined to get back on track.

I fell this week. I didn't run due to several reasons, but I got back up and ran. I was so scared that I wouldn't be able to do my 3 miler. I even thought about just doing 1.5, but it felt great to finish the whole 3 miles and it showed me I can still run!

It is not the fact that you fall that defeats you; it is the failure not to get up and get back on track.
