Today, I got to observe something interesting.  I went for a run, the first of the month. It was supposed to happen on Monday but it poured that day. And it was a long and tiring day.  The plan for the week was to work out thrice and I already missed the opportunity to complete one. Fast forward to today, I took a nap but woke up still tired. Weather was good so I was determined to do the run. I ran fast, I felt I had the momentum and the flow going, I pushed a little harder, finished faster but didn't reach the finish line that I set for myself. Still a win because I got it done.
