Today, being Monday, felt like a fresh start—a perfect opportunity to set the tone for the week ahead. After an extensive workout session, I decided to give back to my surroundings by cleaning up my street. With a waste bag in hand, I moved along the path I frequently run on, picking up litter left behind—plastic wrappers, stray bottles, and bits of paper. It felt empowering to take responsibility for the space I share with my community.
As I worked, I realized how much difference one person can make in just a short time. By the time I was done, my waste bag was full, and my street looked noticeably cleaner. Dropping the waste bag into the basket at the end was the most satisfying part—it felt like I had truly completed something meaningful.

I couldn’t help but reflect on how important small actions like this are for the planet. Every piece of trash picked up matters, not just for the environment but as an example to others. Today, I can proudly say, “I did it all.” Starting the week with both physical activity and a contribution to a cleaner neighborhood feels incredible, and I encourage everyone to try it—it’s worth it!
