Felt horrible at work today. I came home and was determined to go running despite a forecast of storms. "I'm sick and tired of being too sick and tired to exercise. There must be some fight left in me to make this recovery." The air was hot and humid, ripe thunderstorm conditions in Florida. To make a long story short, it wasn't my fastest run or most enjoyable. But it did pay off with some nice dividends, running in a light shower (I was soak and wet when I got home) and running at a reasonable pace despite the rain. No lightning thankfully, just a reassurance that my good health is not past me.
When I came home my son said I looked like I cam out of a Gatorade commercial– not a bad dividend at all. I told him this what I'm willing to do to get back in shape. I'm not recommending you deliberately run through a thunderstorm– I set a bad example in that regard. The question are you willing to do what it takes to get back your health no matter how uncomfortable or inconvenient that may be? Believe in yourself, you can do it. Your is waiting for your mind to accept the challenge. And your mind will be stimulated by the challenge even if it doesn't seem so right now. :^)
