Today is the first day of Spring and International Happiness Day. So, what does any "normal" person do? Why, run of course! I just got back from a much needed run. Not only have I been cooped up because of the weather, but I ended up taking 8 weeks off for the flu, car accident, jury duty, and then a hip injury. It got so depressing that I just started dating everything 2015 in hopes that the misery of 2014 would end sooner.
Then I came across this post from Life in the Day of a Runner on my Facebook page:
What motivation! For me, running isn't really about losing weight (even though that would be a nice side effect), or being fast. It's about being a better person - a better mom, a better wife. Running lets me clear my head and discover what is really important in life.
- Breathing: Take a deep breathe and relax. God's got this.
- Vision: Take time to not just look around but really see the things and people around you. (There was one Canadian Goose standing on one leg with is wings just slight spread out from his body to help him balance. I wouldn't have seen that if I was speeding around in a car running errands.)
- Endurance: Life is hard and sometimes we just have to endure really tough periods of time. Without endurance, I would never make to the other side much less a finish line.
So, in the words of Brian Metzler: Just run.
Running toward the important,
Lisa
