Finally.
My mind and body actually felt in sync during my 4-mile run tonight.
Funny thing is I REALLY did not want to go for that run. I missed yesterday’s workout because, well sometimes, life just takes precedent over running. And tonight, I ended up at work late. It was getting dark. It looked like rain. I was hungry. My head hurt from the stress of the day. The dishes needed to get done. And I’m sure I’m forgetting something from that long, long list.
There were so many reasons NOT to do that run. And only one reason to do it. Because I made a promise to myself. A commitment to train again. And a decision to do another destination half marathon.
About half way through tonight’s run, somewhere near the turn-around point, I thought of another reason I was out there. In the drizzle. After dark.
Turns out, I may have a teeny, tiny addiction to this crazy sport of running.
