My Running Confession

My running confession: I have run twice in the last two weeks. And it hasn't been pretty. There is no fooling running. No lying about how often you run, because it only takes a few minutes for the real story to come out. Running keeps you honest. The longer you are away, the harder it is to get back. But unlike a gym membership that may expire, or a trainer who may drop you for not showing up, running won't give up on you. It will always be there. Waiting for you when you are ready.

Unfortunately, life has been getting in the way. Mainly in the form of two cute little boys who call me Mom. And rain. Family emergencies. Rain. Icky Sickies. Rain. Basketball season. It's been a tough couple weeks. A busy couple weeks. The kind of weeks where the few minutes of free time in my day truly call for the decision: eat, sleep, or shower. Running fell to the back burner. But I am going to bring it back into the game this week. I promise. Today, was day one. Run: check. One step in the right direction.
