Monday Motivation

Today's motivation/inspiration comes from Miss Dimity, one half of another mother runner.  Her post today about her Twin Cities 10 miler was just amazing!  Head over to read the whole post but here is a quote where she just sums it all up!

"Running doesn’t just bring me mental peace. It soothes sore spots I didn’t even know were bleeding; it brings back memories, both lovely and cringe-worthy; it lets me realize when I’m being petty and should let things go; it gives me confidence to take on things I shouldn’t let go (but want to); it solidifies friendships; it connects me with branches of my family I thought had withered; it lets me relive and laugh and wander and chat and connect and imagine."

 Most days, especially lately, running is a physical challenge for me...but then there are those days where you realize just how much more it does for you!!  Running Changes Everything!!

  1. Whenever I have something that needs to be thought out and worked through, a run will help me get to the right answer. Running is way more than JUST running to me.

  9. Love this! You know what does it for me recently? Watching friends of mine accomplish goals and cross finish lines. Every time I see it happen, I cry. Running is SO much more than a physical sport!
