A Promise Kept

Last night I was filled with determination.  Full of hope, of I CAN DO THIS.  And then the alarm buzzed me out of my dreams at 5am and I had a split-second of whatever.  I can SO do this some other time and almost went back to sleep.

I laced up my shoes and headed out the door before that voice could get any louder.  By the time I was halfway up the slope by my house, my I CAN DO THIS was winning.  I walked and ran for 40 minutes, tired exhausted when I walked back home, but happy.  I made myself get up.  I made myself walk hard, run, then walk some more.  If I did it today, I can do it tomorrow.  I will do it tomorrow.
