3 days

I worked out THREE days this week! I got in two work outs today, a run and some weight lifting. I was feeling quite amazed with me until I looked at my training log from last year. It was ... ummmmmmm ... nearly empty. My running was critically ill last spring and pronounced dead after the tornado last May. The log with it's bare pages, made me wonder why we stop?

Why do we stop anything? Especially things that make us who we are. Why do we stop eating right? Working out? Being friends? Loving? Reading? Writing? Singing? Doing things we love? I have no answers, only thoughts that I rant about in this blog. The good thing with stopping is you can always start again.

I've started again. Enough to get me out in freezing temps! Let me tell ya, a run in the cold?? Well, two things will happen. You will be impressed with your extensive vocabulary of expletives and you WILL feel alive. Your body will work HARD to warm you up and you will feel the air in your lungs and KNOW you are alive!!

GOD did give us this life to grab by the balls and LIVE!!! SO, I start again. I have a friend who wants to run with me! Haven't had that for a while. In May? A 5k! Exciting since I haven't run a race since October 2010. It had been a very regular part of my life so I am looking forward to welcoming it back. I'm reading again as well, my favorite blogs and all kinds of books that open my eyes to the world.

Have you stopped something that makes you, well, you? Why? Find your running ...
