The run will have to wait if we’re going to pull off this epic adventure

The run will have to wait if we’re going to pull off this epic adventure. Did get a three-mile bike ride to breakfast and back.

Spent this morning assembling the battle plan.

To plan a trip to a popular summer destination with only three days notice is nothing short of everything having to fall into place.

The clock is ticking.

One missing piece and it’s off.

Just. Couldn’t. Do. It.

Couldn’t muster the motivation to run yesterday.

Needed to.

Wanted to.

Crystal clear on the benefits.

Clear on the consequences of not exercising.

Just. Couldn’t. Do. It.

This too shall pass.

Especially when we don’t feel like it

Life has a funny way of delivering on common sense if we allow it. Especially when we don’t feel like allowing it. Mostly because we think today is going to be the exception.

Felt the need to run but really didn’t feel like running. So it began as a walk.

After a mile or so, decided to run – it was only for three minutes. Just wasn’t feeling it.

Turned off the coastal road and hit the beach and had a strong headwind.

Eureka!

Nearly 20 minutes of running later, a break with a nine-minute walk. Followed by eight more minutes of jogging.

An hour after ‘not feeling like running’, felt refreshed and alive.

Conscious cleared.
