Rainy Run Day

I was determined this morning not to let a little rain get in the way of my run! When I started out it was just drizzling and I thought to myself, "No big deal. I've run in way worse!" By the end of the ten miles it was pouring! I had to wring my sleeves out several times!!! I felt like I had showered full dressed! Normally people run to and from their car when it is raining that hard and there I was running for fun! At one point I just raised my face to the sky and began to laugh! I needed this drenching run today! This week has been very hard for me...back to teaching...leaving Emma for the first time at daycare...having a super busy schedule and not feeling like I can fit anything in...feeling like a failure...stressed about life in general...my Dad finding out he has ANOTHER ulcer...a good friend with a newborn with heart failure. I needed a run that left me drenched...It reminded me that my week was full of rain but that I made it! God was there for me each and every day giving me what I needed to get through. At those moments when I thought I didn't have any more, He strengthened me. Life is going to be full of rainy days...some will be a light drizzle and some will give me downpours but God is there for me giving me what I need to get through. I'm looking forward to a nice weekend home with the family! I'm going to soak in this time!! Enjoy the rain today!
