Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.

I’ll start running tomorrow.

I suffered a knee injury last Fall, and ever since, I have refrained from intense exercise with my right knee. My knee finally felt like it was improving a bit at the end of December, and I had told myself ever since, every night before going to bed, that I was going to “start running tomorrow.” Riiiiiiiiiiiight. As if.

So the tomorrow turned into another tomorrow and another tomorrow…

Until this past Monday. I finally got over the fact that I was lazy and had never kept my own word, and I decided to suck it up and get my clothes on. I walked out at 7 am in my sweats, and started jogging.

The best decision of my life.

I had never felt so rejuvenated and refreshed. Taking 24 credits this semester, I have been swamping myself with so much work that I rarely found myself doing anything other than work or work, or school…work. So here I was, regretting the fact that I hadn’t started earlier.

Sometimes all you need is your 20-minute jog in the morning. I kept telling myself that I couldn’t dare to waste 20 minutes of my time to do something unrelated to work.

WRONG.

Don’t miss out on getting done so much more work done in less time by refusing to refresh and take occasional breaks. It can really make a difference. Thank you endorphins!
