This week I've been on the receiving end of a super nasty stomach bug in addition to the flaring up of my wisdom teeth which had left me bed ridden and off my feet for the last 4 days so you could say that indeed I have hit rock bottom.
The old me would have drawn a line in the sand, recovered, and went back to the detrimental routine of sitting in the man cave playing video games and eating junk food.
Luckily I'm not the old me anymore, there's no way I'm going to let all this effort go to waste - it's time to dig deep.
Yes I have put on a kilo or two in my under the weather state (it can't be helped if you're not even clocking in close to 1000 steps a day) but I'm itching for tomorrow morning when I burst out of bed at 5am and kick the routine back into gear with a 5km run. I'm that keen that I've even prepared all my running gear and work clothes for the day ahead of time which is something that I never do.
I've got just over 40kms till I hit the 500km total distance mark and I really want to smash it before my new shoes arrive in the mail next week.
Someone once told me to "always look for the positive in every negative" so this' what I'm doing. Not even a nasty stomach bug or pain from evolutionary "wisdom teeth" will stop me.
Let's do this.
