Just. Couldn’t. Do. It.

Morning rain on West Gulf Drive on Sanibel Island

 

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.

We worry all our hard work will erode away

Rainbow over Sanibel Beach

One of the most challenging things to do is slow down and take a break.

For like a week at a time.

We worry all our hard work will erode away.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

We will soon find out.
