Janelle circled her commitment on the calendar: three runs a week, no excuses.
But the morning arrived gray and unforgiving—rain hammering against the windows, puddles already swallowing the sidewalks. It would’ve been easy to roll over and pretend she didn’t care anymore.
She hesitated at the door, listening to the storm.
Then she remembered why she started—her health, her peace, her promise to herself.
So she pulled on her hoodie, tightened the drawstrings, and stepped into the cold drizzle.
Every splash beneath her feet echoed her determination. Her breath fell into rhythm with the patter of rain, doubts rinsing off with every step.
By the time she returned home—soaked, tired, but proud—Janelle realized something important:
Growth doesn’t come from perfect days. It comes from showing up when everything in you wants to quit.
She wrote in her journal: “Always forward—even through the storms.”
