THE LAST DAY, Day 10 of the Positivity Challenge

Well, I thought I had finished this thing, but today I remembered that I still had one more day left.  The last day, of what was supposed to be 10 consecutive days of sharing three positive things from my day.  Better late than never.

1 - Feeling effortless during my 10 mile run this morning.  Which considering I was still sore from my 18 mile run on Sunday, and I happened to take a hard fall during my run today, was actually quite shocking to me.  (Tripping and in front of douzens of locals really helps eliminate any feelings of fatigue one during a run.)

2 - Putting together the final piece of a 51 page report I have been working on for the past few weeks.  (This enjoyment involves ignoring the fact that we still need to review, edit and then translate said report....Life is about celebrating the all accomplishments, right?)

3 - Finally completing this "10 day" challenge (which may or may not have started 55 days ago).  I am not enjoying the fact that it is over (I think I will try incorporate some positivity into all of my future blog posts), but rather, smiling about the reminder this challenge has given me.  The reminder to persist and carry on.  Granted, this wasn't exactly a "tough" challenge, but it served as a reminder to continue chipping away at large goals.  Even when the schedule doesn't go as planned and the deadlines are passed, sticking with and finishing a goal really is a great feeling.  I recommend trying it.

  1. You are always so positive, even without the "10 day challenge" that took 55 days. When you start to miss home, just think about the 3 days of rain/snow we have had & go enjoy a run in the Haitian sunny weather :)

  2. Thanks Laura. While I do love the snow, this warm and sunny weather right now is quite nice. You should try it one time.
