We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming...
To bring you an epiphany I had this morning:
Usually, in the morning, I wake up with a profound sense of dread about the work-out that must now ensue in order to get ready to run this half marathon.
But this morning.... this morning some cosmic blip happened and I felt... excited about running today.
WHAT?!
I know. Color me shocked.
I am not ready to say that I love running just yet, BUT I think this goes to show that persistence can change your point of view.
I think that in the recovery process, everything that you must do in order to recover can seem like a real chore [things like journaling, talking with a therapist, meeting with your accountability, attending an AA meeting, etc.] but I think that today is proof that if we stick it out long enough, it becomes not only tolerable, but potentially enjoyable? Like I said, still not sold on that enjoyable part, but I'll keep you posted. ; )
In other news, I'm not running this marathon just to run it. I am running it to raise awareness and support for heartsupport and I would really love your help. You can donate to my cause here and really, every little bit helps.
Love you all and have a happy Monday!
