Last night, February 7, my husband and I went out for our run (ahem, walk), about 3 miles. As usual, I was struggling to keep up with him. But I kept passing this wonderful lady, who first said to her friend, Look, they're running! At first I thought, what does that mean exactly? Of course I interpreted that as saying we (or at least, I) didn't look like we should be running. When I came around again and passed her, she gave me a big smile and two thumbs up! My negative thoughts were erased and a feeling of encouragement made me try to run faster....try being the key word. I came around again and she said, You're amazing! Well, that was so fantastic! When you're huffing and puffing and feeling like every part of you is jiggling with each step you need any kind of encouragement you can get!!! I felt inspired and energized by this lady who took the time to give me a little encouragement...that went a long, long way. ;)
If only my desire to run equaled my ability to run! Ah well, I guess that's what this is all about, right? The journey continues...
