Okay, I'm not going to lie and I am going to be honest. I had a little breakdown Sunday morning before church. It was probably a combination of things: lack of sleep, added stress--you know, the usual stressors. By Saturday night we had moved 95% of our stuff to Idaho and come back all on the same day, went for a run, and then I didn't go to bed as early as I should have. Anyways, Sunday morning I started to have a breakdown. Negativity started to creep in. We were at my in-laws' place in Mapleton and I started to think of all the bad things that could happen and how it was going to ruin my life and my running dreams and on and on.
I was a wreck and grumpy. So I took some time right before church to write down the things that were really stressing me out. Then I went to church. Funny how answers to some of my most difficult dilemmas come at church. I think I'll keep going. Anyways, I figured out how I could run the same amount and a little more, cut out some unnecessary things to make up for the time I was going to lose in a longer transit to work and by Sunday night I was feeling a lot better.
This morning I had an incredible run. It was very peaceful and focused. The weather was great. Rolling black clouds in the distance and sun breaking over the mountains. I ran to Maple Mountain High School where they not only have a beautiful new track, but to the side of that they have several soccer fields and football fields where I ditched my shoes and soaked up the goodness of planet earth while doing some plyometrics. I think everything will work out great. I'm tired right now, but I feel great about life.
