peace in running

This morning after my beautiful weather run, I asked a friend that I knew was running a while back if he was still running. Unfortunately life happens, and he hasn’t had time to run anymore. I started thinking about this, and myself. I realized that just as much as I would have never have imagined running as a part of my life just a couple years ago, I cannot imagine my life now without running. When I get to go out and get even just a couple miles on the streets is a time that no matter what else is going on in the world, it doesn’t matter during that run. As we are coming into this period of time when people get so stressed over so much, remember 2 things. 1 is God is in control, and is the only reason for the season. 2 go out and exercise. It will make you feel better immediately, and after indulging in a little more Christmas treats then you probably should, you don’t have to feel guilty. I am blessed to live in a climate that we are starting to see some of our ideal outdoor running conditions, but if you’re not so lucky even exercising in your living room will make you feel better.
