Day 2 {favorite shoes}

These are my favorites. I used to call myself a runner. That description doesn't fit so much these days. I miss running....everything about it. The way my legs burn when they're pumping hard up a hill, the sound of my feet crunching in the gravel, the time I have to reflect and pray, the closeness I feel to God and His creation, the total adrenaline rush I get when I hit that sweet place that keeps all runners coming back for more, the pure exhaustion and satisfaction at the end of a run and the warm shower that follows. I've participated in more exercise classes than I care to count but there is nothing I have found that compares to the way I feel when I run. I'd like to think that running played a part in marrying Rock. We ran our first half-marathon together and the rest was history.

I dream of running more marathons. Someday.....I hope. For now, I will be thankful for the ability to lace up my favorite sneaks and conquer my 3-mile loop.
