Wistful Wednesday

{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.
