1 Day... To My 1st 5K!
I did not run today. It is a day of rest both physically and mentally.
I have a friend that mows the lawn over at the office. He is about 16 years old. Often, his Father comes over with him. They were hard at work last night when I went out to greet them. We talked for a while, then I had to go back to my work. I turned around before I entered the building, went back to them and told them that this 54 year old guy was going to run his first 5K Saturday morning (In 2 days I run). The Father looked at me and congratulated me. The son was much simpler. He looked at me, put his open palm in the air and just said, "High five me!" I did.
Sometimes the simplest affirmation can mean more than anything else...
