Woke up to the sound of rain hitting the windows—that steady rhythm that usually makes you want to stay in bed. For a moment, I almost did. The warm blanket versus the cold morning air, the classic internal negotiation. But I remembered what I told myself last week: consistency beats perfection. So I got up, put on my running shoes, and headed out.

The streets were empty and slick with rain. Each step sent up a small splash, and the cool drops on my face actually felt good once I got moving. I kept the pace easy, reminding myself that this wasn't about speed or distance. It was about showing up. By the time I finished the 5k loop, I felt more awake than any coffee could make me.
