One step at a time, one day at a time.
15 years ago I convinced myself that I couldn't run anymore, my legs just couldn't take it.
I was lying to myself. (Just like when I thought I had to drink to feel alive actually.)
One day I started out with a less than one mile jog, VERY slow pace.
The next day my whole body hurt. I waited two days and did it again.
Fast forward - I ran 5 miles the last 3 days in a row and took today off just because it's probably a good idea to rest a day. But there were two times today I almost suited up and went out running.
As it is... I'm REALLY looking forward to tomorrow morning. I'm gonna RUNNNNN...!
