CLARITY

By looking at the most recent postings you will see that the running hasn't been that great lately. Well, it could be great, if only the consistency were there. I have struggled the past few months with hitting the road regularly. I could contribute my lack of motivation to many things. The selling of a home; moving to a rental packed with someone else's things; vacationing in the midwest, where carbs run high, and physical fitness tends to run low; the rain; the heat; these allergies that have fuzzied my head (I've never had allergies before!); my schedule changing in everything from Bible Study to my social time; stress about my new house that is still a dirt pile; the fact that my sister's birthday is in two days and I have yet to decide on a gift....there are SO many things to blame for my lethargic attitude towards my running shoes. None of these things, however, are adequate reasons to not run. So, today, I put it on my list. Along with the laundry and lunch with Rosalie, I jotted down running on my "to do" list. And I did it. And all of those reasons listed above are still true in my life. And here is another things that is true in my life. As far as it depends on me, I will not stop running.
