Even though I was in a tonne of pain last night and hardly slept, I forced myself to go out for a run as I knew it would feel good to loosen all those muscles that were tightening up from the run the day before. I guess running daily has taught me a lot about being persistent. Not only do you have to fight through the challenges of time, health, physique, other people, but also the mental voice in your head fighting you everyday trying to convince you that you don't have to go out running today. I've learned so far that if you set yourself up for success, in other words, plan ahead, know what you are capable of and know what you want to accomplish, create the environment that will help you achieve the next step or next goal, anything is possible. I make sure I have my clothes laid out and ready for the next day's run, I go to bed early and I make sure I do my run first thing before anything else happens that day so I can enjoy my day full of energy and satisfaction. For any of you out there wishing you were dedicating daily workout time to yourself, keep this in mind. If a busy person like me can do it, anyone can do it. I started running and I could hardly make it around the block the first time out. There is hope!! Be persistent!
