Every since I posted about perspective I've been trying to wake up in the morning and start the day with Psalm 118. I'm hoping that even on the days when the last thing I want to do is rejoice, saying those words will help me believe them - and then help me live them out.
So what am I rejoicing about today?
The Weather:
It is a glorious 82 degrees right now! Dare I say we've seen the worst of summer ... ?
No, actually, I don't dare. I don't want to jinx it. Universe - forget I said that.
A Good Run:
The combination of the break in the heat and eight solid hours of sleep last night have done wonders for my mood and my energy. I was completely focused (read - productive) at work today, came home and made a quick dinner and headed out for a run. After kind of an 'eh' run on Saturday and a couple of long days at work, I didn't really have high hopes for today's run. I was thinking two miles ... maybe.
I ended up running 4.02 miles in 42:53! I didn't take any walking breaks, which means this run marks the longest I've run straight through since I was a senior in college! The run honestly felt great - almost back to my old self. I'm definitely planning on taking the next two days off, though - I don't want to push my knees.
I would break down the run, but for some reason nikeplus isn't giving me the breakdown. Hmm ...
This Face:
I'm pretty sure she can teach me a thing or two about laying back and enjoying life.
What are you rejoicing about today?
