It’s -1C in a windy morning outside and there I am… running !!!
Step by step struggling against the cold wind in my face… my hands are in pain- I don’t wear gloves — , my breath is hard… puff … puff … puff… puff…
That’s my routine almost every day for the last year. It’s been one year since I made a radical decision: Quit smoking !
…New Years resolution like every year …
The difference now is that I was thinking about it mindfully… pros and cons… the decision were made! To make it work, I had to find ways to distract my mind so my task wouldn’t fail…
It started slowly and painfully … physically and mentally!
I couldn’t run for 1 min straight and sometimes I cried while doing it but I didn’t give up!
I didn’t understand how people could be so enthusiastic about running. For me, they were all sadomasochists …
… and then, I became one as well!!!
Soon, I began to happily await for my running days. It was painful and I was still struggling but it became my Personal time.
