Walking the Running Route

I think its probably been about a year since I've ran. Hard to imagine! In fact, I haven't done any exercise since before Christmas. Really, hard to believe. But it's all been good and I think my body has actually enjoyed the sabbatical from physical exercise.

Today I decided the sabbatical was over. So, I walked my short 3 mile run route. It was both bitter and sweet. Walking certainly is less challenging and takes longer. But it was so good to see all the familiar sites and hear the familiar sounds I used to hear when I'd go running. It was good too to be able to reflect on life's most recent happenings, think about the Lord and on the things I read earlier from His Word today out on that familiar course! Yep, the sabbatical is over, some of life's crazy and momentous events have passed (first high school graduation in our family to name one of them), and my body is out to feel a little pain from physical exertion once again!
