Spring Forward

Winter was really rough in Pennsylvania. I did not run. AT ALL. I started to feel tired and fed up with my running progress so I stopped. Instead, I chose to focus on other things such as applying/getting into grad school, reconnecting with friends, and spending time with my family. Now that it's spring I have a renewed spirit and am eager to start running (again). I realized that I was missing the healthy balance that exercise adds to my day.

I just finished reading a book called This Year I will...: How to Finally Chnage a Habit, Keep a Resolution, or make a dream come true. The author talks a lot about changing habits, and why we sometimes sabotage ourselves when we make goals. I've learned that it's important not to give up when you experience set backs, but learn from the experience and begin again, wiser. So, it's time to being again. And I can't think of any better time then Spring Time.

The first thing I want to do is make some goals because I think they will help me get clear on what I truly want. Some will be running related but some will be about self-improvement and personal growth. The last few months were a major set-back, but it's time to Spring Forward and begin again.
