I don't have much time to tell you of my travels at this moment. I am currently eating cold spaghetti, trying to bribe my children to get dressed, and questioning if I did in fact remember to put on deodorant today before I leave to get to work by 4:30.
I ran today. But I did not do it wisely. I planned on waking up early to go out before it got hot but it was a lot harder than I'd imagined to get out of bed. I ended up trying to get my miles in the middle of the day. It was so hot outside that I could feel the sweat dripping down my body after the first 5 minutes. It was brutal. I made it just over 2 miles before finding a nice green yard to throw up in. Then I decided to walk my sorry ass back home.
I did not follow my plan. I did not fit my mission into my life the way I needed to. And therefor I did not accomplish what I set out to. It is important to remember the reasons why we do things. Be it waking up early to run, or taking a bus to reach an NA/AA meeting. We need to remember why it is important to us and then we need to follow through.
Today I was reminded that I need to manage my day around my goals. School, family, kids, work, and this. Which means that if I have to sacrifice or change some minor details to make it possible for the big picture to come together... that's what I need to do.
I'm glad I was given the chance to learn this today. But, throwing up outside and then using your shirt to wipe your mouth before the walk of shame home was no fun.
It's not about how many times I fall. It's about how many times I get back up. (and in this case, how EARLY I'm willing to get up too, lol)
Tomorrow is a new day. It always is <3
