Leading and lagging indicators as a runner

Today’s successes… ??

…are the lagging indicators of yesterday’s choices.?

And since today will be yesterday, tomorrow…

What am I going to do today? ??

What are you going to do today? ??

Earlier in the winter, I caught a cold.

I had all the symptoms.

I was stuffed up;?

Complete with the small ah-choos and coughing ???

I tested at once.

It’s the post-pandemic way!

It was NOT covid ????.

Just an ‘old school’ cold virus ??

It did take its time, though.

At first it seemed to improve a couple of days in.

So, I got outside on the weekend for a 5 km run ??♀? and 7 km walk ??♂?

Then, it suddenly seemed to worsen ??

So, I got to bed a bit earlier each night ???

and slept a bit later ???

I declined joining a friend at an Ottawa Senators game ???

I opted not to visit with my dad over that weekend ???

And I even missed attending a 75th birthday ??

I choose to rest instead ??

Why??

Because the choices I make today affect my results in the future?

Should I rename the column #RestingReflections this week??! ??

What about you, Self Made Nation?

Do you find it easy to rest? Do you rest proactively, or reactively?

?

I’d love to know!
