About three weeks ago, I purchased a C25K training guide from Active.com and doing that kick started a whole new journey to better health. Following it has really helped because with each workout day, the author writes a note at the bottom… sometimes thought-provoking, always encouraging. Today, she writes:
“Are we there yet? Starting any journey is fun. Sometimes, though, as the first blush of excitement fades, we realize just how far it is we actually have to go.
Don’t look too far ahead in your training. For now it’s enough to do what you need to do today and this week. The weeks to come will be here soon enough.”
This holds true with anything, really. Baby steps. One day at a time.
Tomorrow, I will turn another year older. As I was writing an email to a close friend of mine a few days ago, I closed it with “Can you believe we’re going to be 29?!” Not really thinking that we’re actually turning 28 this year. Of course, after realizing my mistake I felt relieved and silly (and old), but this is just another example of how time will fly too fast if you let it.
