Back on treadmill and back on track..

It has been almost two years now since I last stepped on a treadmill; it was exactly on the 25^th of October 2005 when I went to the, very much OK, recreational center at UCF with my bottle of water and headset, ready and excited to get some calories off and out. I tuned my channel, put my headset and started my workout by walking slowly and gradually increasing the speed.. but it was not that long before I fell off, on and out of the treadmill!!! And it was quite a fall or the fall!!!

Since then we kept our distance, barely had any contact whatsoever, not even eye contact.. Ridiculously enough it was on Friday the 13^th of this month when we made peace again, and it was quite a return :)

It is somehow similar to take courage, move on and sit behind the steering wheel again after a big accident without fearing high speeds and sudden brakes.. and yes it took me a month, I, the speed lover!!..
or to press on, keeping the good memories and see, with eyes of forgiveness and acceptance, an old friend after a not so friendly aloofness.. the examples on this particular case, for some reason, are not few!!and will be kept unmentioned to shun jealousy ;) ..
or on a bigger scale, take a leap of faith and hope and be able to trust again overlooking the scars and the hurts.. for time alone doesn’t heal anything really, but as someone once said; it is what we do during that time which will help us see the colors again, reconcile and have quite a return..

I still feel embarrassed even upon remembering that day in that gym :s but I can not forget the fun I have on the treadmill.

Getting back on track and reconciling is a miracle we choose to make but unfortunately, not so many people allow themselves to witness and live one..
