Last Monday was a perfect day. My day to make a comeback. I stayed focused on that intention. Let go of any doubts and worries if I was ready. I trusted myself. I stopped myself from going into all the what-ifs.

I ran my first 3 miles this year at 28:11min, 9:24 pace. All the way straight through, without stopping. I remembered, my strong legs could carry me for miles. I told myself, “Let it be easy, breezy.” There was no pushing myself for a certain time. It was just about completing it. Being in the flow.

Typically after taking a long break from running in the winter months, my quads feel-on-fire-in-a-painful-kind-of-way in my first 3-mile run. This time felt different. It felt good, light, easy.

While running, one of my trusty mantras came back to me, All the way through, there’s no stopping you. Staying present in the moment. I repeated this in my mind, as I ran through the nearby neighborhood streets. Keeping a Steady pace, Steady breath.

Before this day, to build up, I’ve run intervals, on three separate occasions. I’ve walked a 3-mile distance twice on other days. And I still go to CrossFit, which helps keep up my endurance and interval training year-round. Let’s not forget I walk Preston, my pup, every day, typically 2 miles, sometimes more, sometimes less.

There’s nothing like making a comeback. What I want most for you is to know you can make a comeback, whatever that may be or mean for you. Regardless of how long it’s been. Regardless of reasons, excuses, or doubts that got in the way. You can start again today.

Step up. Speak up. Stand up for your comeback. Do it for yourself. I’m here for you.
