Wet Wednesday

What does perseverance look like? This morning it looks a lot like me. I must confess that I did not want to get up at 4:30 and go run in the rain and do requirements. I, however, did. The same thing that usually happens on most runs happened this morning. I was glad that I had made the effort to get up and run. It is so peaceful at that hour and I was blessed that the rain/drizzle had stopped by the time I got out there. It dawned on me that I could be perhaps counting my running time as meditation time. I use it for a time of reflection and goal setting. This morning I was looking back over this BB cycle. I could not run the entire 1.5 miles in the beginning. Now I run the entire time. I have run in 22 degrees weather. I have run in incredibly windy cold weather. I have run in nice sunny 57 degrees Friday evening weather. I have learned about my breathing and I have learned to enjoy my run. That is just part of what I have learned/accomplished with my running during this BB cycle. I don't have time to go into what I have learned/accomplished with each of my requirements. Needless to say, each one has a story. I think I am most proud though of my running. Oh, and the 14.2 pounds I have lost since January 18th.
