Everything in life affects my running and so I am trying to put my focus towards my passions. I have been struggling lately with feeling stressed, pulled in many directions, feeling unsettled and having too much on my plate. It has denied me a great deal of the pleasure I get from my passions because I am so crunched that I am literally running through life. I realized last week and this week, that I must "slow down" mentally especially and be back in the moment so that my passions can bring to my life what they have and what they can. They are my sanctuary, they are my joy. I am so glad to be reconnected with that. Instead of focusing on the things that I have to do or stressing about them, I am drawing the line and putting the joy back in my passions. I have been anxious about alot in life lately and it has made me feel like running for the hills, but instead of running for the hills proverbially, I am literally running in the hills to let it all go. I am finally finding a bit of reprieve. This is the reason why I have started running long again lately. I am so blessed that all I need is my feet to feel whole again.
Not an exceptional run this am AT all. Its a public holiday here and it was too crowded - too many people being obnoxious this morning (one very stoopid boy tried to run alongside me - *rolls eyes*)
Just 11 miles this am - took 2 walk breaks because I just did.not.want.to.go.on!
