My how the [running] tables have turned

When we first started running my wife told me, she couldn’t stand running with me.  During our runs, according to her, I would slow down, run in place, or circle back in order to continue running with her.   After putting up with my antics for some time, she took things into her own hands and eventually told me that she really hated running with me. Of course, she did her training when I was not at home and out of town.

Today, for our entire 6 miles run she ran just a couple of seconds ahead of me.  The further we ran, the more energy she seemed to have.   I found myself yelling at her, in my mind, four miles in.  As I slowed my pace in order to catch my breath, all I kept thinking to myself was, “I can’t stand you, you are still a ball of energy!”    My how the tables have turned!  While I’ll probably be fussing with her during our next run as well, I’ll end it with a different thought, “I love this woman!”

As Earl Nightingale suggested, commit to your 30-Day challenge. If you miss a simply day start again!

After 32 hours of driving, I’ve missed a few days of writing.  Instead of giving up or starting over from day one, however, I’ve decided to simply start from where I stopped.  Many tell you that if you face a setback, you need to start over from day one. But, in doing that, lose their drive  and do not actually  reach the finish line.

You don’t have to start over, simply  pick yourself up as quickly as you can and start again. Over the years, I have learned that your past actions, although you may be frustrated at your setback, you should press on anyway!

If you have failed, as we all have, don’t wallow in your failure.  Pick yourself back up and get back to your grind.  So, here I go #BackOnMyGrind
