{Wistful Wednesday}
~A weekly ritual. A single photo capturing a moment from the week.
A simple, special, extraordinary memory that I want to freeze, savour and remember~
I went for a run last night after I got home from coaching my daughter's ball. It was getting late, but I knew that if I didn't go immediately that it would never happen. That couch is just too cozy.
So I did it and it may seem silly to you and this may be something you can do in your sleep, but I ran 3 kms without stopping. I usually throw in the towel after 1 km, walking the rest, citing extreme boredom.
My mind game is strong and I can talk myself out of anything, especially running.
But tonight was a different story. I talked myself into something. I told myself that I could and then I turned my brain off and just ran and didn't think about how much farther and longer I had to go. I focused on the fresh air, the beauty of nature and the grace that I get to be here, in this beautiful place, using my strong body.
Baby steps, people, baby steps.
