I felt sooooo good today!  Or, to be more specific, I was really energetic when it came to workout time, so I went to the gym instead of napping.  I definitely could have done more than 2 miles on the treadmill today, but I didn't want to push it, since I've been slacking off and haven't really run more than that lately.  Anyway, I hope I feel well enough to run tomorrow; if so, I'll try to do a little more.

I had a really good song today during my run that related to running and my relationship with God.  The second verse of the song says, "Broken, I run to You for Your arms are open wide.  I am weary, but I know Your touch restores my life." I just pictured myself running into the arms of Jesus who was waiting for me to come and lay my burdens on Him and give me rest.  The world makes us tired with all of its worries and expectations, but His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

I think I know that song. I love running to inspirational songs! Thanks for sharing the words with us! We all need to run to Jesus each day and let Him help us carry our burdens! No need to haul them alone when we have Him to help us!

Good to hear you are feeling a bit more energetic.
