What happened to the 1500 miles that I ran from January-September? Gone after October's sabbatical from exercise. Why? Why did I lose momentum? A friend told me, "Everyone needs a break." But a whole month? She reassured me that time off was good. "The body needs to recover and have a break. You had been exercising non-stop for nine months. At least you aren't at the starting point of the "Infamous Dana Point Turkey Trot Photo." She did have a great point. I was not at that "square 1," but merely mile "0." So, now I am facing my next attempt to motivate myself to get running. I know I tried to motivate myself a few weeks ago, but with the wildfires in Southern California and poor air quality, my week long attempt, became a "weak" attempt because I certainly couldn't force myself to breathe in all that ash! So, today I started at mile "0" and made it to mile "2.113." I am on my way baby!
