Enjoy the Journey

I am back up and running.

Discharged from physical therapy yesterday!

Running pain free.

Today my body was tired.

Heavy tired.

The sun was GORGEOUS.

The wind not bad.

I loaded the kids and their bikes

so I could get my 4 miles.

I took it very easy.

15 minute mile easy

I wanted to Enjoy the Journey.

Feel the sun on my face.

Hear the birds

The trail ends and we end up in a neighborhood

in Stoneridge (golf community)

There were two little Kenyan children.

Standing so still I thought they were statues.

The girl, about 4, spoke to me.

I didn’t respond because I wasn’t sure

what she said.

Louder…

“DO YOU KNOW JESUS!?"

“Well Yes I do! Do You?”

“YES!!”

“AWESOME” I said.

Melt my heart!

On the way back my kids had gone on ahead.

This time the girl asked if they were my kids

I said “Yep.”

“Why they not in school?”

“I am their teacher” I said…”they do school at home”

“Oh”

That was sufficient apparently.

I really did more fast walking than even jogging today

Enjoying the journey.

Enjoying my kids.

Enjoying being asked if

I know Jesus!

We even stopped for a little picnic.

I blogged over at my homeschool blog

about throwing rocks and nature sketching.

Remember to

Enjoy the journey

Don’t get so caught up

in paces and distance

that running becomes a chore.

At least that is what I did for today.

Tomorrow may be a completely different

story.
