The state of flow: my whole organism — mind, body, soul — is in sync moving towards one goal. Can I find it again?

As the year winds down, I start setting down the fitness foundation for what I hope to achieve next year.

I know I’ll be okay. There is a “peace that surpasses all understanding” from God that has brought us comfort during our darkest hours. But just give me a moment.

Have I ever told you why I made the commitment to get fit? Here’s why. Being alive and well and able to run is something I’m so grateful for.

Because this is what’s going to be part of my life for the long haul, I think I should let you in on what’s happened.

For long-term change that doesn’t reverse itself, there needs to be something that compels you to do it from the inside.
