Choices

Finally was able to run this morning. My goal this week was to work on speed and pace.Completed my usual 5km run + 1.2km warmup and 1.5km cooldown.

Last 5km run was a little over 40mins vs the best pace I had so far was finishing 5km in 20min. Was feeling a little frustrated and a little panicked by how much I need to shed.

Today, I was targeting completing it at least in 30mins. I finished it in 36mins! 😜🤪😜 That was a good ending of my day from a busy productive day offsite! Getting there!

Resonating thoughts this run: CHOOSING. CHOICES. OPTIONS.

I read once in a college paper,

“We are the products of the choices we make and the choices we refuse to make; we are the product of the options that were made available to us or were denied to us at the time we made the choice.”

From that day I read this, it has stayed with me and it resonated with me for years till now. It has served as a “reality check” for me to be accountable for my actions and to be responsible for how I make my choices.

Oftentimes, we get emotional while making a choice and oftentimes we regret it. But this has enabled me to be mindful of being in the right mindset when I make a choice.

We have an option to stay trapped wherever we are. We may choose to do nothing in our current situation. We also can choose to act to make positive changes. And whatever we do, good intentions make a lot of difference.
