I am in love again with running now I don't wear my Garmin or care how fast I'm going. A small handful of dry oatmeal and glass of water is enough to get me past 60 minutes of running. I can't wait for school to get out so I get back my favorite morning hour to myself. Today one kid had driver's ed at 6 a.m. the other had seminary. So I got to go out at 6:30 which reminded me how much I loved running once. I really started running in earnest the spring of the year 2000. My son was 8 months old and my daughter almost 20 months. I bought a double stroller and ran 5 miles every morning on the bike trail. I ran only during the weekdays leaving weekends free for my family, and I never ran more than 5 miles. I also never ran during the winter. I treated running as a celebration of good weather. Those were great days of pushing my kids in that stroller. I pushed those kids until my girl was 8 and my son 6-- near 100 pounds of kids in that thing. I remember the first days I stopped brinning them along and felt so liberated not pushing the stroller. That's when I started running-running for real (races and marathons). Those were also great days also, until they were not. But I'm feeling liberated of my own expectations. Running is becoming that thing again I always loved. Time to myself, time outside, time to reflect, excersize.
