Greetings! March 9 looms large. In 1997 that day locked itself in my memory indefinitely. The previous day I had been in Los Angeles for my sister’s graduation from Physicians’ Assistant Training. We celebrated to the wee hours and then on the morning of the 9th I caught a flight back to Atlanta. I arrived in the late afternoon. Shannan picked me up and we immediately joined my brother-in-law to celebrate his birthday.
After a filling Thai dinner and a full evening of fellowship, I fell asleep in the car on the way home. In the back of my mind I believed I could rally and exercise after the brief respite. Once we made it to the house, though, between too much celebrating, not enough sleep, the time change and all else I crashed, hard.
This was the last day, in almost 13 years that I did not exercise. It is with bittersweet emotions I encounter March 9 every year. The good news is once I exercise for the 9th and 10th, I enter a new year of The Streak and the many intriguing things it brings to my life.
