Run: 4 miles

I've been running on the treadmill at the gym. It's a nice change of pace to staring at the brick walls in my section of the unfinished basement where my treadmill is located. Nobody ever passes me on the treadmill and says, "I love running!" Instead, I hear, "how far are you going?" "I hate running" or some comment about being an overachiever. All of the comments are fine. Nothing really annoys me.

It's okay to hate running. It's okay to hate Crossfit. It's okay to hate zumba, cycling, or yoga. You can hate whatever you want to hate. If you don't like something, don't do it! Find what you like or find different activities that you like and do that!

The worst feeling is running on a day that I don't feel like running. Or going to the gym to start a WOD when I don't want to be there. Certain activities can get old. Try something new.

I took a few months off of running. Okay, maybe almost a year! BUT, recently I slowly starting increasing my miles. Yesterday, I had my headphones in and was listening to my guilty pleasure of the 80s music and that feeling was there. Running clears my mind. Running opens my heart. Running gives me time to talk to God. Running makes me aware of what I have to be thankful for. When all of those things begin to happen, the tears come. I started crying. That feeling of being in control of where I was going and thankful that I was able to get there. THAT feeling is what pushes me to the next mile and the next mile and the next mile. I love running.

Find what gives you that feeling and don't stop!
