The Journey

I may have new sights to see or unexplored pavements to run but no matter where my journey takes me, up hills, down into valley's, across rivers or along jagged cliffs, I will always love feeling the pavement passing under my feet, the sound of my heartbeat in my ears and my lungs burning for air. Because it's not where my journey will take me but how I finish that matters. Strong. 

Reflection

Finishing strong from my run has shaped my life.  It took me from a dark place in my mind to a light place. Not a bright glaring light but a dim light that grows brighter and brighter as I live my life.  As I reflect back on my experience it has taught me that I can accomplish great things. Even things that are hard. Things I never imagined or dreamed possible.
Running is one of those things. It has become a way of life for me. My time. I can reflect, ponder and even resolve my life's greatest challenges when running. Finishing strong has made me feel better about myself and my circumstances in life. The stresses of my life are diminishing and I physically feel stronger too. I am proud of myself. I am continually gaining confidence, energy and a positive disposition on life. I am on my way up to the top of my world. I have a new hunger for life and running feeds that hunger, my heart and soul. Nothing can stop me now. I am motivated by the good feelings that running brings in to my life. To feel better and be better.
