It's all about having a plan.....As I sit here in my home watching the wind whip the flags behind my house...
Glass of red wine sitting beside me....
Feeling defeated and blue....
Not because I didn't run....
But because I choose not to run....
because I let something minuscule bring me down into the land of blue....
But that is OK....
Because it forced me to make a plan....
To really evaluate what was bringing me down and cut the baggage loose....
It brought the support of friends who responded to my blue's of the crappy weather....
And those who understood that I was pushing too hard...
And through that....
It brought the dreams of Canmore... Jasper...
Hill's....
Good girl friends...
Single Weekend's.....
And laughter....
and it brought the promise....
That crappy weather doesn't last....
And it only takes a good solid laugh with a close friend to chase the blues away....
So yes.... I will hit my country roads and treat myself to my favorite type of runs.... alone... in the dark... just me and my head lamp....and I will run a 10 mile a loop... maybe two.... or 1/2 a loop.... or even just a 3 k followed by some fun muddy hills.....and I may get blown away at some point..... but... I'm going to get out there....
Because tomorrow is a new day....
And there are hills and trails to explore....
And that is a promise that even the grey wind blues can't chase away....
These leg's of mine are not going to get any stronger sitting on my couch....
Singing the blues...
So....
I'm looking forward....
Forward to an amazing summer of great running....
Laughter...
Camp fire's....
Amazing Friends...
And crazy adventures!!
