On Monday I got in the pool. I hadn't been swimming in quite some time. I have to admit that I felt that fact...I was not as fast as usual and I was tired during the workout. But I got in...which is a great accomplishment. Tuesday I got on my bike and in the afternoon headed to NYC for work. I will admit I was supposed to run on Tuesday but when I got up and saw it was snowing again, I lost it a bit. I just didn't have it in me that day to put the layers on again!

It is not a bad thing, that is for sure, I just approach my days differently. On a continuous journey...setting goals along the way.
