So, I discovered something today. I love running on empty! An empty stomach that is....I always knew there was a reason why I like running first thing in the morning and that is because my stomach is emptiest at that time of day. I don't like feeling like I have a brick in my stomach or my middle weighs fifteen pounds. When I run on an empty stomach I feel lighter, faster, and it is much more enjoyable. Is it smart? I don't know, but I certainly feel like I run better.
Tonight was beautiful with the golden wheat basking in the last rays of sunlight that stretched across the pink and purple sky. *sigh* How I shall miss running here in Eastern Oregon around my little town. How I shall miss running with Heather and our talks. How I shall miss being able to run whenever I want during the day as many times as I want. How I shall miss being able to scream or yell, sing or talk, cry or laugh out loud while running by myself on these dusty roads. How I shall miss taking 30 minute stops to sit in the wheat fields and watch God set the sun. The treadmill at my new apartment just doesn't seem quite as nice, nor does the rain of Salem. *sigh* I shall miss my home, I've become attached again, never fails.
Add: 3.6 miles running
I love running on empty also :) And I will miss running with you too! Let's run a couple days while I'm down this weekend, as one last hurrah for now.
ReplyDeleteAlso: I noticed in the verse, not only will we be condemned but also acquitted by our words. I wonder if positive cancels negative, like math.
