7.5 miles
Oh, what a magnificent run this was!
You know, there are many things I've been learning through these daily runs - overcoming difficulty, laziness, excuses, prevailing over my own doubts, inertia, and just becoming a better version of myself. But there is also something else I am now understanding far better - the underlying reason for surviving in the first place. Something about infinite beauty, about grace, about things larger and greater than ourselves. About the reasons we are all here. If you asked me even 6 months ago - would you run for a year non-stop? I would laugh and brush it off. But it's not so far-fetched after all..
The daily runs leave me often exhausted, and sore, but the feeling on the inside is cleansed, as if someone had scrubbed out my soul with a stiff wire brush.
The great thing is that now everyone in my family takes this as "the norm" :) she is going to go running... and so I do :)
