Running Pause Concluded

Well, I was able to get out there on the pavement and run 3 miles today. I took it slow but I felt really good. I was so excited to be running after 11 days of no running that I found my mental energies being swallowed up by pure emotional joy! It was like being a kid in a candy shop! I am so thankful for the gift of running. I am so thankful that the Lord has given me this gift. I felt like my Heavenly Father was so happy to see me enraptured by this small little 3 mile run. There's just nothing like Jesus and my running shoes to take me to a place where I can unload, reload, to lock and load for more of life! My running pause has thus concluded. Hmm...do I go for the 5K this Saturday? Undecided. It's that getting up at the crack of dawn in the cold that keeps me from just going for it. We'll see.
