What better way to kick off the New Year than to begin a blog! Today, in between annual check-ups with various doctors, I did a hill ride on my bike and surpassed my 27th mile of the year. Healthy visits to the doctor and a 50+ degree day (in January in New England!) make it easy to get out for a workout.
The New Year always brings up resolutions. I was never one to make resolutions; at least not on a yearly basis. I believe strongly in resolutions, but on a continual basis at the moment when an issue to be resolved arises. This being said, I will make a resolution for this year: to enjoy every moment of my good health and not take it for granted. Healthy appointments and a good ride today reminded me of the level of satisfaction a good day brings.
My high school football coach coined the phrase "don't count the days, make the days count." That is what I plan to do each day of health; enjoy my family, work to complete my dissertation and continue training. This is also what I plan to do each day that I may feel less than 100%; be disciplined with my diet, medication and preventing excess stress. I will not measure my year with a tally of good days and bad days, but rather in levels of achievement and happiness.
