I really enjoy the 3 mile run.
The other day I saw a neighbor in the store and she said, "I see you and your husband running past the house." I said, "I only run out that way when Jeff is with me, otherwise I run around town." She said. "You are way behind him." I about fell over. I thought she was going to offer encouragement, but instead burst my bubble. I didn't think fast enough to say, "I'm passing you!" OK, I am just too nice to say that to her.
On the other hand, I saw a gentleman we ran with in October and he asked how I was doing. Now, he is a half marathon runner, and was happy I was up to 3 miles! THAT made my day!!
I took last week off from running to give my body a rest. I wanted to start again today, but yesterday & this morning I've got a pounding headache. Maybe if I drink enough coffee it will be better. I also don't think the weather is going to cooperate today. Rain, rain, rain. I wish it was SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!!
May only happiness enter through your door this week!
I am always amazed at how thoughtless people can be! A reminder to honor and appreciate those who impact us positively! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI can laugh about it now! If she only knew how difficult this journey has been, she would have thought more before speaking.
DeleteI try very hard to make everyday a positive day in my life. With my children living far away, and one getting ready for deployment (I think if I say it enough I'll get used to it), I can't dwell on the negativity around me.
I am so blessed to have the people I do in my life who lift me when I need it and comfort me when I am sad. Thank You Mrs. DillyDally for being one of those people.! I hope happiness comes throught the windows this week too!!

DeleteRemember you will always be able to beat me in a race!!! My sisters are runners but not me!!! I would have to negotiate with a bear as he would beat me in a race,too
ReplyDeleteI am always inspired by your dedication to exercise, Carol. Ditto on what Mrs. DillyDally posted. I'm sitting here sewing binding on Toria's quilt tonight. They will be here this Saturday, so I have to sew.
ReplyDeleteYou should have told her the view is better from the back? LOL - I think you are doing wonderful - and I hope the headache went away!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this reply! I may just use it! I can never come up with anything witty when I need too.
DeleteMerry Christmas!
