Healing

Today was the day I needed.  My original plan was to take a nap after work, but the air quality wasn't bad, and those are the days when I need to take advantage of being able to run outside.

That was a much better plan.

Today's run was particularly important to me.  I finally decided on what route to take, but ended up switching it up a bit so I would run even longer.   

As I was running I was reminded of why I run and why it's so important in my life.  Lately, life hasn't exactly been the best.  I've made mistakes and I'm certainly not perfect.  I have a lot of things, both big and small, that I want and need to change.  I didn't want to be weak. 

So today.....I was strong.  There's something about putting on running clothes, tying your running shoes, and just getting outside.  Especially when you are stressed, sad, or frustrated.  I was able to clear my mind and just enjoy the run.  It's my sort of meditation.  

I ran 7.4 miles today at a 8:14min/mile pace. :)

I could feel that I was healing from whatever 'darkness' had entered my life.  I could feel the happiness that comes from knowing what is true and right.  I knew this is where God wanted me to be.  He had something to teach me. 

When I run, I am always reminded that life is amazing.

Today I ran for healing.
