Flirt with Dirt

by Janet on June 13, 2011

Well, I sorta-ran Running Fit’s Flirt with Dirt; a trail run on an unkept wooded trail with ankle deep mud, tree roots and an ending stretch of trail UP a sledding hill.  Was it fun? You bet, it was !  Just being out there was such a boost to me.
My time?  We won’t talk about that…I was way to careful since the “crash and burn” that I took at Woodstock  last September…
I am just thankful to be B-A-C-K!

It was an interesting six weeks that I was grounded from running due to my stress fracture.
It was almost as though I had lost part of my identity…As a runner, YOU understand, how we become so connected to running, that it is who we partly become…UGH!

Now, with that being said, my true identity is being a child of God; that I will never lose!  Even if He grounds me!  :)   (…and, I am certain He has been tempted to…)

So, I ran the 5K last Saturday and have registered for three more.  Tempted to run faster, farther and more often?  Of course, I am…Will I? probably~but not yet…the pain of six weeks grounding is still too fresh in my mind!

What are YOU training for?  How is it going?  We would love to hear from you.
