I am a runner. I always have been. I feel best when I run and I feel most accomplished when I run. Before MS took over my life I was in training for a marathon. I ran long runs every weekend with my running team and ran alone during the week. As much as I loved the long runs, it was the weekly runs that were my motivators. When I ran alone I ran with God.
I can remember the great healing that would take place in my soul as I ran. That one on one time with God was the best part of my day. The best runs were the ones that took place out an about in the midst of the beautiful creations God has made. To smell the clean air and the feel the dirt move beneath my feet was inspiring. Birds singing sounded more beautiful than any song that could play on my Ipod. It was those runs that made me feel even closer to God.
MS took away a part of me and I intend to get it back. I will not be defeated by this disease. I will not lose my sense of self to this invisible pain in my rear. My second goal for 2012 is to get out and RUN. I will run again this year. I will be free in the beautiful outdoors with my Heavenly Father and I will get my quality time with Him each day!!
Lord, I am ready and it is just you and me on those roads! Let's go!!!
