Ever so slowly and not very often, but more often than ever before. It's still not my favorite thing to do, but I'm getting stronger and can handle going for longer stretches at a time. I just want to be healthier and happier. I hope I can turn this into a habit that I enjoy and someday wear my heart in my shoes rather than on my heart. <br /><br />I too have friends like the one you mentioned, friends that have allowed running to become the ruling force in their life and they make choices that surprise me. I hope I can stay as balanced as I've always seen you manage to be. <br /><br />Thanks again for this thoughtful/insightful post Challae. Happy running!zippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10220218970401738301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521894772653624067.post-76956184583478710442011-09-30T13:47:42.847-04:002011-09-30T13:47:42.847-04:00I have been running for the past 12 years (minus t...I have been running for the past 12 years (minus those last 3 months of pregnancy) and completely agree with you. Running has always been my form of therapy. I think there is nothing better than a Saturday morning with the sun shinning but a little bit of frost left on the grass and an hour and a half to go and explore the countryside. It is so idealistic and renewing. <br /> I was thinking about you this morning as I was making the granola recipe you gave me over 3 years ago. Thanks for a great recipe I would love to catch up sometime.Sunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278605989460369284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521894772653624067.post-66995819642485233342011-09-21T21:41:18.426-04:002011-09-21T21:41:18.426-04:00ditto. you said it all. i got in a phase a few yea...ditto. you said it all. i got in a phase a few years ago where i was only running to reach this one particular goal and i kept falling short. it was killing me. then one of my friends asked me why i ran - because to him, it sounded like i didn't enjoy it anymore. and he was right. so now, i run for me. not to beat anything, but just for me. <br /><br />p.s. i signed up for the cape cod half, but apparently it sold out? so i'm on a wait list and i'm #45. seriously!?mjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09141031502595666446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521894772653624067.post-68884388175739578952011-09-21T13:55:05.223-04:002011-09-21T13:55:05.223-04:00Loved this Chellae!
