Time to Run!

When things change in life I think we learn to appreciate the consistency of what doesn't.  (ie Friends, places, traditions)  For me, I like to run.  Running offers the exercise and escape all in one.  It's the one constant I can enjoy when things all around me seem to be changing.  That's particularly why I enjoy training for long runs (marathon or half-marathon).  The training for these runs takes you through different seasons and the weather that goes along with it.  In Oklahoma that means running in the wind, heat, cold, and rain.  While the elements around me may be changing, the run is the same.  One step in front of the other, establish rhythm, and off you go.  

Lord willing, I won't be giving up running anytime soon, especially when everything around me is changing.
