This year, I really am going to try and keep it up. Every Sunday. And today is Saturday so I'm already ahead of schedule.
I need to get back in to running. This is no longer a want-- it is a need. And I know other runners out there understand the need. I need to feel the wind on my face, hear the sound of my breathing and bask in the after-run euphoria.
I need to run, my soul needs me to run and my son needs me to run, too. I need to run for the runner in me but I also need to run so I can stop being the overweight, lazy person that I've become.
I've said this before on the blog and I hope this is the last time I'm going to say it but I have never been this out of shape before in my life! I don't like it at all. My son is very active and I find it tiring to play with him for very long. I am only 31 and I shouldn't feel like this. I have come to a place in my health that I don't like and I must do something to change it. I also have noticed that my son is very aware of what I am eating and he wants what I'm eating, not what I'm trying to feed him. This means, instead of eating the carrots on his plate, he wants to hold out for the cookie I'm going to snack on later. Ugh- I don't want to raise the child that eats unhealthy. I am modeling that behavior for him though and it is not a gift I want to give him.
Lord, please help me so I can teach my son a healthier way to live.
