Hello bloggers! So today my dad asks me why I haven't been running. He thought I hadn't gotten my miles in this week. Perhaps because I have been so negligent on my blog? It is a possibility. Haha. Well anyways, I did indeed run all of my miles. Well actually, I haven't run my 9 miles but I am tomorrow. This weekend got away from me. And besides, I kinda like the weekend for recovery. And this schedule is flexible, so no judgements! Haha.
Last weeks runs were AMAZING. Run 5 miles? No big deal. Run 3 miles? Pshhh I can do that in my sleep. I have already been doing this for 5 weeks. I can't believe it. The fact that I can see improvement really helps keep me motivated. I am going to register for a half-marathon for the end of the summer before I go back to school. I feel like it'll be a good stepping stone before the marathon.
Well everyone, I have to say, I have fallen in love with running. You know why? Running will always be here for me. All I have to do is strap on my shoes and I can go on a run. I can let go of the problems of the world, of my life, of everything that comes crashing down on me. Running has become my outlet. I don't think I can give it up now. I am addicted!
So here is lesson #2: you can't control what happens to you. People leave you, either by choice, or by tragedy. There is nothing you can do about it. There will be days where the world crashes in around you. But find something and hold onto it. Don't succumb to insecurity or self-doubt. Find something you love and let that heal you. I feel broken today, for many reasons. But I am so grateful that I have found running to help piece myself back together. Between running, great friends, and family, the pieces of my life will always mend back together. I hope all you bloggers find that same comfort.
Sorry for the change in tone everyone. Just what has been on the brain! Running these many miles gives me WAY too much time to think!
Happy Running!
