Chasing Pavements

I heart Adele.

“Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements, even if it leads nowhere”

I also heart running. I love what a good run can do for your mood. Even if I’m dreading it before hitting the pavement, I always feel good afterwards. For me, it’s a nice escape and one that doesn’t involve constantly thinking about what the girl could be getting into. Or how much laundry needs to be done. Or how badly the bathrooms need cleaning. The list could go on and on.

Although training for the half marathon I did last week was fun (mainly because I did it with a friend, thanks H), I still prefer runs with no pressure. Of course it’s a sense of accomplishment when you shave minutes off your previous time. And it satisfies your competitive side for sure. It’s just hard to enjoy those kinds of runs for too long. I don’t want to start hating running because it’s so many things for me. It’s an escape that makes me a better person. A better mommy. A better wife.

So even if it leads nowhere, I’ll still keep chasing pavements.

On a separate note, I still can't figure out why I can't comment (on my blog or others). We have family here now but when I have more time to sit down and look at things, hopefully I'll figure it out. Thanks for the support- things are coming along, maybe slowly, but at least they're moving!
