Running

So, I’ve started running again after having to take about a month off after rolling my ankle playing basketball.  Having never rolled my ankle before, I was very cautious about starting back up again, but it has been nice.  I ran just about 3 miles on Tuesday and another 3 today.  My stamina is not where it needs to be and I will need to work very hard over the next 10 weeks to increase it in order to be ready to run the St. Jude half marathon in December.  Wish me luck!

One quick note about running…I love the comraderie of runners that I see when I’m out there.  Almost every time I run past someone going the other direction, they smile and offer a “good morning” or a wave of their hand to me.  It doesn’t matter who I am, what size I am, what I look like, what my job is, what I believe in…when we are out there, we are just people enjoying a jog and I love that we are all “friends” out there.  I wish more of us were like that in other aspects of our life, whether we are work, driving around, at the grocery store, whatever.  There is so much angst in the world that shouldn’t be there.  Relax everyone.  Enjoy God’s wonderful world and enjoy the people He has created.  He loves each and every one of us!
