Moments of Frustration
I was a bit frustrated this morning with my running. Well, more like I was frustrated before my run. I was back and forth on where I wanted to run. I didn't really want to run. I wanted to stay in bed instead. But that's not how the pounds come off. And I have a 10k that I am training for...and you can't do that in bed. Overall, I was just frustrated because I am so slow. I know that I am slower because of my weight. The more you have to carry, the slower you move. And I know that I am much faster than I was just a few months ago. I just need to pick up the pace.
So, after all my moments of frustration, I decided to do a short run..only 2 miles this morning. But with the intent to pick up my speed. Which went really well. I dropped my average pace almost another 1/2 a minute...which was really good. Yes, I need to get so much faster. But after the short burst this morning, I felt like it was more of a reality. And as I was finishing up I turned the corner and saw this in the sky. So breathtaking. And on my I-pod, the song was singing how He overwhelms me and that He was the air that I breathe. Perfect ending for my Friday run. I needed that. Doesn't He always know just what we need and when we need it? Hope your Friday is as good as mine started :)
