I was bummed yesterday following news of the unexpected passing of a family member.
I left work early, but only after successfully delivering my first presentation to the company without crying. Push through!
I relaxed at home, did some writing (that no one will ever read), and decided that exercise would lift my spirits.
It turns out that my gym is almost exactly a mile away from my house! My lazy butt had been driving there and back.
1 mile run to the gym: 8:53
Power yoga class: 75 minutes
1 mile run home: 8:16
It was 9 p.m. by the time I ran home, but it was still plenty light out here in the Pacific Northwest (love). The evening was clear and just turning cold. My muscles were stretched out and relaxed. I ran fast. It felt good.
There are some things you can’t change, but you can always adjust your attitude.
