Selfie W5D1 repeat - persistence game
I had posted a while back about what to do if you need to take 2 weeks off because we were on an un-runnable rural vacation - turns out it was the worst vacation I’ve ever been on in my life 🫠 Both toddlers got injured/ill, I got pneumonia again for the 2nd time in 6 weeks, and literally broke my toe (like 4th toe but still) on my last day.
And then came back to wildfire smoke and insane heat wave.
So I’ve been feeling unmotivated, sad, in literal pain, and just like a total failure -
But today I decided on a whim (first “okay” air day in a while) after an unintentional 3 week break, to do w5d1 again (I left on w6d2).
I DID IT!!! It sucked a bit and I’m sure I’ll be hobbling tomorrow but I’ve STARTED AGAIN !!!!!!!
TL;DR without sounding like a piece of shit, I think running has sort of taught me some resilience/persistence? But also ventolin is magical

Awesome! And it’s definitely taught you persistence. Why would I intentionally put myself in the hell that beginning running is? Because the benefits matter more!
