What? "9 miles wasn't enough" To hear that thought in my head feels like someone else saying it. It was true this morning though. This week is a recovery week for my marathon training. 'Only' nine miles for my long run instead of double digits.
Yesterday, the children had a difficult time listening and obeying. Dear husband has been working so much the past few months that I feel like a single mom. He's been working on three R&D projects ... not one, but three all due in a short amount of time.
I'm so thankful that I started running over a year ago. Running has helped me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I can spend miles talking over with God what is going on in my life. This morning, I could have used a few more miles. Looking forward to Monday's run, Wednesday's tempo run, Thursday run, and Saturday's long run.
I proud of you for doing something for yourself! Running is a great thing to do.
ReplyDeleteRunning is such a great way to connect with everything around you. I know what you mean!
ReplyDeleteAt least you have next week's long run to make up for it (even though 9 miles isn't shabby at ALL!)! :0) Great job on your "only 9 mile" run! :0)
ReplyDeleteAlways keeping God in your life is very important. I find it always amazing how by following Him we so much farther than we even imagine.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog through the Nun Run post on Joy filled family! I am so glad to have found it! I am a runner and a homeschooler too. And training for my first marathon (on March 26th) and I justed registered for the Marine Corps Marathon (I saw you had it listed on your list of 2011 races, our diocese does a Run for Vocations fundraiser in conjunction with the MCM). Anyways, so happy to have found your blog. God Bless!
