Un paso para atrás


All this past week, despite being overbooked and having worked long hours, I woke up early and run 3 miles every morning: easy. But today I took a step behind and I do not like it.

It all started last night, I think. I had a glass of wine out of boredom and trying to unwind after a very busy week. When I woke up this morning, the energy was just not there. I drove to the site where teammates would run first then we'd gather to listen to some of our honorees -people who are dealing with blood cancers.

I made a left instead of a right. That is how my figuratively "Un paso para atrás" began. Many blocks and 30 minutes later I realized I would never find Arboleda Drive. Being late, the stress of a lost driver, and just not feeling physically energetic, took over.

Not even 3 miles I ran.
I do not like it, but I accept it.
I accept it but wont repeat it.
And I wont repeat it because damn it, am committed to running!
