“I don’t want to run , so I’m gonna go run.”
I was reminded of the note above after getting myself to go on a two long runs in the cold, wet weather this weekend.
Hennepin Avenue Bridge today on my run vs. last weekend’s run.
I struggle to always accomplish my personal goals.
It’s just so dang hard sometimes, isn’t it?
Like this blog for example. I’ve had a heck of a time writing them daily. I’m seven days behind to be exact.
I'm pretty good about grace, though. I have a lot of personal goals this month, so trying to crush each one is not easy. But at some point I just have to DO IT!
Some iPhone shots from various runs at Boom Island.
Most things I know I should be doing are things I don’t want to do.
Run six miles in the rain? Don’t want to.
Get off my phone? Don’t want to.
Wake up early? Don’t want to.
Clean the house? Again?! Don’t want to.
And so on and so on and so on.
But e v e r y time I do the thing I don’t want to, I feel better and am proud of myself.
What a whacky predicament.
I didn’t really want to write today, but I did it. Hopefully the same will happen tomorrow. And hopefully every time I get urge of not wanting to do something, I’ll just get it done.
