Running

So if you know me, I really like to run. Running is a part of me. I haven't reached elite running status and nor do I really want too. I just love to run. I've just gotten over an injury that had prevented me from running for almost a year and I'm back at it again, being cautious though.

Because of my new job I've had to get up much earlier than I ever thought I would. This last week I've been up at 5:45 am. To be honest, it's difficult to get up that early, but when I'm done I'm truly happy that I did. I'm not running to impress anyone nor am I running to loose weight. I just want to run.

Last week, on Thursday, my running partner didn't show up and I got to run by myself. Normally I'm a big scarredy cat(I'm afraid that a dog is going to jump out at me, chase me down and attack me), I'm not crazy it just hasn't happen yet....

Anyway, I got to run by myself and even though I'd rather run with a partner I really enjoy running by myself. I get the runners high, I get to see the sun rise, I get to see Heavenly creations in a very peaceful environment. I feel like I'm the only person that matters in the world when I run. My life has been difficult, with many challenges and obstacles to overcome but even though I'm alone I don't feel alone!!

Day to day living can be a challenge but running makes it easier for me. I can take out my feelings on the road and sidewalk.'WATCH OUT'

Anyway, I found this video and I love watching them run and seeing their faces. I feel just like them!! Have fun watching!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgZB2mZZfJs


PS: If you ever want to join me just let me know!!!
