squishy shoes and torrential rains
its great how we get little rewards for being consistent. today i woke up and wanted to snuggle further into my warm bed (i am sooo not a morning person). i knew i needed to get my butt up and out the door to run so we weren't late for church. i started getting up as my wonderful Kevin begins to tell me how its pouring torrential rains outside. aaawww craaap!! knowing he likes to stretch the truth i trudged downstairs to change. i opened the front door to welcome my new day and he wasn't stretching any truth whatsoever.God had forgotten to turn off the bath water and it was flooding down onto our world. i tried to comfort my hesitant body by reminding myself “i'm an Oregonian and i can handle rain”. i won't melt for goodness sake. maybe get soaked, but surely not melt. as i get in the car to go to the track i begin to smile, then my smile turns into a chuckle. i bet i'm the only crazy one who is gonna be out right after dawn in torrential rains on a Sunday morning kicking butt. as i'm putting along, there are 2 other crazy people too!! i have begun a new program to focus on distance and let spead come along later. because of this i had an awesome run. it totally pumped me up for our hectic day ahead. tho i came home completely soaked with a little squish to my walk, i had the best run i've had in quite a while.
