My third lap

I jogged three laps today on my Mile! Woo-hoo!

I was feeling pretty good as I was rounding out my second lap. Getting green lights across the board, the guys in the control room at NASA telling me that all systems were looking good and to go for it. I felt encouraged.

Then as often is the case, I came to the eleven o'clock position and started feeling resistance. Two laps is good enough for today. I'll go for three another day. How many times have I said that to myself - how many times will I wait for "another day"?

As I came around to the end of my second lap, I had just about convinced myself I would do just two today. I was about to slow into a walk, my cooldown walk. And then... a sudden burst of mojo, and I keep going. Halfway around on my third lap, I'm thinking ecstatically to myself, This is my third lap! This is my third lap!

This is my success story today (for this part of today).
