Day 2

Well, back to work today. It felt good to get into a routine again however getting up at the crack of dawn was challenging. I relished the opportunities to sleep in and recharge over the break and may have fallen victim to overindulgence.

Yesterday was a breathtakingly beautiful day. What a great way to welcome the new year. The Christmas decorations all came down and the house was put back into order. My gym playlist was refreshed and being the OCD organizing extraordinaire I am, even my closet got some attention and was sorted by colour and style. After spending time on my humble abode, I bundled up and started trekking around the yard. My house is surrounded by conservation and farmland and the woods always seemed so magical as a child. Okay, they still seem that way even now as an adult, and it felt so refreshing to wander around and take in blankets of sparkly snow and the rays of sun through the thick trees.

After work today I mustered up enough energy to run 8 km. I'd be lying if I said it was easy, it really wasn't until just after 4 kms that I got into my groove but I still did it. 2013 will be a year that I will continue to push myself, farther than I know, on multiple levels. Little accomplishments, even just finishing a run when it's tough, will continue to help me grow and make me stronger.

Looking forward to greeting tomorrow at the crack of dawn...and seeing what else I can do in a day.
