Last Saturday (Day 13) I ran five miles for the first time ever. The weather was cooler and there was a breeze in the morning when I ran. My mind was clear and I just enjoyed "being" that morning. I prayed but not for any particular reason. I thanked God for nature, the color green and for life. My prayers were fitting: I ran on a trail through the woods for a good portion of my run. I finished my run cramp-free in about 53 minutes. Not bad for my first five mile run! It is also reassuring to know I'm running on pace at between 10:00 and 10:30 per mile.
Sunday (Day 14) I ran an easy 2.5 mile run. There was nothing profound about it. To be honest, I wasn't too keen on running Sunday so I had to make myself get off the couch and go outside. I was really glad when it was over.
Today I'll be running 3.5 miles and I'm searching deep for motivation. I didn't sleep well Sunday night or last night and I'm so tired today I can barely concentrate on work. I'm going to run right after work today so I can't make excuses later for not wanting to run. Hopefully tonight I'll get some decent sleep and get back on track for Thursday's run.
About Me
- Sarah
- I am in my 30s and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I feel like I've always been searching for answers and I probably always will be. I'm comfortable with the mystery of life and I try to embrace each moment. I frequently get "teased" for noticing and commenting on little things like how the dew makes the grass shimmer in the morning when the sun hits it just right. I don't mind when people find it odd that I notice the little things; at least they aren't passing me by.
