New Year's resolution

She had found it in the morning after destroying her bedroom. She didn´t remember to buy them but was pretty sure that had never gone to the street. So, when that night, between the wine and the turkey, someone asked her about the goals in the new year, she laughed before reassuring, with the seriousness of someone who had been drinking the whole day, that she was going to exercise daily.

Of course, she wasn´t expecting to start the same first of January at three in the morning, but there she was, in the middle of the forest with five degrees below zero screaming that she loved her new sport shoes and didn´t mind that were white and she was walking through the mad.

Hangover and body pain were also unexpected. She could dominate the first one after drinking a lot of water and taking some pills. She went running again to finish with the second one, in order to avoid too a longer headache if she had the opportunity to meet one of the other guests of the New Year´s Eve dinner. If she didn´t have any symptoms of the cold yet, it was because the virus was still working slowly.

The sign of being doing something wrong was, however, that she started to sleep like a baby. She couldn´t remember the last time she went to bed and didn´t spend more than two hours turning around the sheets, and punching the pillow until been able to stop her thoughts, or at least to feel that her brain was apparently resting.

She had to add fifteen minutes daily to her running routine to achieve the same effect. However, her sport shoes weren´t getting used to that activity as she was doing, and, after three weeks, the soles broke up.

By the first of February, far away from that New Year´s Eve dinner, she concluded the sporty resolution and started a new year with the determination of taking her decisions without the alcohol intervention.
