So it's been a week since I first went out the door with my new running shoes on and began this journey to a better me. I am so glad I am doing it -even if I am so sore it's unbelievable!!!
I am so excited to see where this journey will take me. So far it's given me much more confidence, energy, as sense of hope and certainly a large dose of peace. I pray while I am out there and I push myself to do more than I feel like doing and think I can do. I also let my frustrations out and have time to myself each time I am out there.
I have gone out five times. I have decided to take Sundays off and to take it easy if I am too sore or rushed to get things done. I want to make this a good experience that reduces stress -not one that adds to it. I know I will need this to be such a positive part of my life -or I will likely quit all-together when times are just temporarily hard (busy seasons, bad weather, sick kids, etc.).
We are going camping today through Thursday so I am not going to run -but we will be hiking and I am choosing to not be upset that I am not getting out there to run. My nature is to be very extreme -all or nothing- and so this is new territory for me: being okay with not being 100% 24/7 style!
Aloha!
