Last weekend, I couldn’t fathom staying inside to work out. Despite the scorching temperatures, an outdoor run was absolutely necessary. I laced up my sneakers, filled up my water bottle, and drove to I’On, a beautiful neighborhood in Mt. Pleasant where Amanda and I like to run.
I parked by one of the ponds, put on my new workout playlist, and started to run.
One of the greatest parts of running, aside from it being exercise, is that you forget your troubles and notice things you had no idea you were looking for. Like beautiful trees and freshly cut green grass.
Calm, blue waters surrounded by gorgeous houses.
Little reminders to push through – you’ve got this!
Reminders why you started running in the first place – to eat more chocolate.
That little restaurant you always forget about? You should go back. They make a great beet sandwich.
Sometimes you’re reminded of your family. You should call them and tell them you love them! (Little brother’s name –>)
That the grass is not always greener on the other side. You absolutely love your life.
And to just breathe and enjoy every minute of this one precious life.
