I didn’t realize how much I missed running until the past few days when I’ve been able to get out and just run. I feel so tired and weary but after a good hour run, life is all new.
Running is when I have time to think, listen to the outside sounds of life. When I run, I’m reminded of who I am and how I can be better at that. It’s easy to get lost in the routine of life. And boy do we have a need for routine around here. Little Miss has decided that nap time is no longer needed. Yep, no sleep during the day and still up a lot at night.
But put her in the jogger and she falls asleep immediately, for as long as I run. Talk about motivation to keep running.
So I will keep running. And keep remembering the amazing blessings I have in my life, including one little girl I get to push around on some pretty amazing trails.
I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia.
So beautiful. I can total relate. Though I’m at the point right before my marathon where my body feels so taxed. I have slept well the past two nights.
I can picture you and your sweet little one in the running stroller, it is a gorgeous image.
