Physical Exertion is Exhausting

Tonight, I proceeded to commit to my plan and start working out and prepare for my upcoming track season. I don't know what in the world I was thinking! For the first part, it was enjoyable to be running again. I was jamming out to the music on the treadmill and suddenly, halfway through, my legs felt like they had been sunk into water and I couldn't move them without tremendous effort and then shortly following that, a brick had been set on my chest. I couldn't breath and I felt pathetic. Needless to say, I really don't like myself for convincing me that it was alright to take off about three months before starting to run again. This first run felt horrible, but I guess it can only get better with time, right? I don't care what you think, because that's what I am sticking with. If I'm not positive now I'll never continue running every day until track season. This is gonna be a long trek uphill with a rope pulling me down, but I will make it up that darn hill even if it kills my body and brings me to complete exhaustion. I will make it! So with this I ask, what are you hoping to accomplish in the beginning of this new year, and the more important question... are you willing to go after that goal even if you get pushed down, set back, and given challenges? I sure hope so, because if you are willing to start working towards something that means it was worth enough for you to continue until the end and you achieve that goal. Good luck! I know I'm certainly gonna need some.
