Happy New Year to you!
The kids have a calendar with daily quotes from powerful women for Christmas.
Today’s quote is from Diana Ross: “Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then. You can’t just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You’ve got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.”
I get it; it’s helpful to look ahead and dream the big dream because today might just be one of those shitty days you would rather forget.
I’ve spent nearly 3 years rehabbing a torn knee cartilage rather than having surgery. I set myself a goal of running around Vic Park, Cardiff, as a Christmas gift to myself. And I bloody did it, well sort of – I pulled my calf, 3/4 of the way around.
The truth is, sometimes today is ugly. Here’s to your health, happiness, and fighting dirty each and every day.
P.S. You can follow my efforts on Strava. My dream this year is to run the same beach I ran as a kid. Only this time, I’m running it with my nephew, Rhys, and if that doesn’t drag me around, I don’t know what will.
