Beginning again

I've completely stopped running due to my poor health and the terrible weather.

Now that I'm better and the weather agrees, I'm running again. Today.

It's been tough because I felt miserable the entire time that I wasn't running.

Not because I wasn't running per se, but because I was slipping back to my old habits and in turn my health started deteriorating again.

The past few weeks—while I recovered my strength—I searched for a strong reason to get back on track. Initially it was the NYC Marathon, but it looks like that the marathon thing isn't happening anymore (discussing that another time). That goal kept me going. But I lost that goal — so what now?

I spoke to my husband and he said I should do it for myself. It wasn't enough. (That's terrible isn't it? It's not enough for to do something for myself.)

My hubby then said, "what about for me and the kids?"

Say no more, mister 😂

I never thought that running would be a matter of "doing it for the family," but the rationale is that I get strong and stay strong for my family (since I don't want to do it for myself).

So here I am.

We all fail. It's just a matter of getting back up again. Here's to new beginnings!
