I can't say I did it perfectly, nor can I say I did it well. I'm not even certain I did my best. But, I did go and run today. Buster and I were gone for 30 minutes, and it took all my strength to get up out of my comfy chair I was reading in to put on my running clothes and get out into the chilly afternoon.
I could not be happier that I did.
Not only does my head feel clearer - which is a blessing! - but, also, I feel more awake and alive. We got the blood pumping good today. I am a little bummed - I only did 5 of the 6 run/walk sessions. But, maybe on Wednesday I can say I did all 6. Regardless, it was 5 more than I wanted to do an hour ago.
I think my pep talk to myself earlier helped. My choices are my own. So, if I come home and do something productive, that's on me. Likewise, if I come home and waste the night away, that's on me too. Tonight, at least, I can say I made a good choice. One good choice out of the plethora of potential negatives.
It is a step in the right direction.
