Week 1, Day 1 It’s 6:15 am on a Saturday morning and it’s already 75 degrees. Regardless, I am up to start, or should I say restart, my training. The past month I have struggled with some serious physical and emotional valleys. My running took a back seat to everything; which I deeply regret. Running has always been my constant, my coping mechanism, my loyalty, my thought maker, my peace!!!! Yet, it’s the first of everything I put aside. I’ve prayed daily for peace and clarity and my Creator has mercifully heard my cries. I am up early with motivation, I am ready to lace up my running shoes, start my running watch and enjoy my run. You see, I believe God knows exactly what I need to restore my spirit and running is his gift to me. No matter what I am going through, valley I am traveling through or emotional/physical set back I am experiencing, the desire to run is always a constant in my heart. That desire is an inextinguishable flame; sometimes its a dim light, sometimes a source of heat, but it’s always a constant. So, today I run with a better understanding and acceptance that running is a gift from my creator. Perhaps, that running desire has never been extinguished for a reason; is it part of a bigger plan? The beginning of a life long dream coming to floursishian!!! Whatever the reason, I will run with Peace & Gratitude and enjoy the journey….
