Last few days was really challenging to keep up with running. And I have failed. I had to leave for last four days, and I did not run. Three days with missed my goal - to run everyday at least 2 km.
I was wondering what I should do next? I could just mark those days as failed and move on with my 30 day trial, but I think it is not good idea. Why? I have missed 3 days in a row, and it is too much for habit forming challenge. So I have decided to start over. Reset my counter and yesterday I was again running on day one. Fortunately for my body reset did not take place, so I was on my usual route with time around 13′.
This is another time when 30 Days to Success was helpful to me. Without this blog I guess I would skip over this break and continued. I think it would be fooling myself - for my self esteem, and my ability to reach for goals I set for myself it is better to learn from this failure. To learn fully I have first admit I have failed - thus I have decided to rest my counter and restart my trial.

It was really very tempting to act as nothing happened :))
But now I’m very pleased I have decided for reset.
