P365 - 2013 - Day 289 - reminded me why I run
I didn't run the LBI 18 mile this past weekend. There were several factors - The Bear had a soccer tournament, I was sick for the whole week prior to the run, the wind was straight out of the North that morning, and I just didn't feel that I was ready. That was not easy for me to admit. I was disappointed in myself, but I know I made the right choice. The next day, I got back in the saddle and ran with a friend that was here for the weekend (I love our runs!) and today I decided to run on the beach. It was a perfect way to start the day - just me, the waves, and the seagulls....it reminded me why I run. Not just to "train", not just to compete (with others or myself), not just to stay fit....but because it just makes me happy.
*That's the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life is. - Kara Goucher*
