Relapse - Part 2

I had finally gotten a handle on my last relapse. I was doing P90X again, biking, climbing; it was wonderful. Then we decided to move and everything got all gummed up.

Thankfully California is a great place to get back into healthy habits. Ben and I have been biking, walking on the beach and visiting some great hiking places around. All of which would not be normal middle-of-January activities. More importantly I have getting myself back into the normal routine of activity. I don't have any new "advice" to share since my last relapse, but I still wanted to post on this maybe just for some level of camaraderie.

After going back and forth about whether or not to run again, I finally decided to do it. For me running feels good. Today as I ran only about a mile I remembered that it makes me feel like I am going and getting somewhere. My lungs were burning and my legs were saying B**** please, but I keep telling myself that was because I haven't ran in probably 6 months. Soon the burning will dull and my legs will remember what it's like to work. As long as I keep pushing myself, keep getting out there, keep going. Maybe a great analogy for many things in life.

Hopefully this will be your encouragement to get out there and just do it, no matter how little or long, how slow or fast, how far or short. Thanks to my running friends for your unknown encouragement, especially Lauren and Jen.
