Practicality over perfection.
As I climbed into my truck, I reached for the seatbelt and wondered if maybe I should've gotten up an hour earlier.
I was about to be driving for the next six hours, and part of me was feeling guilty—like I should've squeezed in a run before the trip.
Sighing, I pulled on my sunglasses and turned out of the driveway. Then, I reminded myself that I ran each of the past five days, and that prioritizing sleep was the right call. That's what I needed today. So I threw on a podcast, settled in, and let myself feel excited about going to visit a friend.
I smiled at that, and made my peace with not running.
