'Lil 10 mile jog

10 miles - Summer is here and the humidity came with it. Because of my way sore hip, I threw on my old runners in the hopes of my hip healing, or at least not getting worse. It was another gorgeous Saturday 6am run. Even better, we had some new people on day 1 of their LLS TNT journey, as they'll be running their events in the Fall. We only had to do a 'lil 10 mile jog compared to the 20 mile run last week. So we were all pretty chill. Truly a testament to the power of thought. Whatever mileage you know you need to do is what you are mentally ready to tackle. Whether it is a 5 mile or a 15 mile, I am ready to take it on. Now, how to relate this to life. The interesting part is how we are so much more comfortable with something when it's a sure thing. I've run 10 miles a ton of times the last few months, it is not threatening to me at all. But the first time I did it, it sure was. If only I could take these positive thoughts and assurances into some of the things that I have a fear of in life. Some of the things that are hard to make decisions about because... I don't know if they are a sure thing. I've not experienced them before. But I need to remember that all will be fine. I'll complete whatever it is that is making me waiver and when I'm done, I'll have one less fear. Setting my mind to something is something I can do now... when it comes to running. There's never a thought in my mind that I won't complete the long runs. I love that. The rest of my weekend was chill. Jonna and I went to the Farmers Market and walked around and then my nephews visited this afternoon. They love cheesy toys and I'd gotten these on clearance at Big Lots or as my sister calls it... Big Lots 'O Crap. :) They are so cute. Just love 'em and a great end to a great weekend.
