The feat seems almost impossible.
The goal could not be further away.
But keeping at it day by day you start feeling your lungs increase, your heart slows, and your muscles keep pounding at the pavement.
It has been an adjustment getting back into the swing of running a lot.
But I have been enjoying the task.
At times I would much rather sit back and watch a classic Saved By the Bell show.
And it is frustrating like yesterday when I went running and only completed 3.5 of the 4.2 I set out to do.
But pain is temporary and quitting is forever.
The point is I did the 3.5.
Sure I may not be to the level and stamina I have been in the past and hope to be in a short 3 weeks time.
All I can do is try.
Such is life.
Do your best, try hard, and keep a smile on your face.
The inspiring thing of trying and pushing yourself is the way you feel at the end of the day when you reflect on what you did. You know you set out and pushed your mind, body, and soul. It may have been pushed a lot further than the last time or non at all but you did it. That's what brings me happiness. And happiness in running is doing it. Getting out there and trying and you will succeed!!
Happy Tuesday!
