ORN: Over weekend...zero
Monday 5 miles, early evening, easy pace
Spent Fri-Sun in Colorado Springs with my oldest son David, who is just back from Iraq. He's an Army medic and I hadn't seen him since his safe return. Wow, what a wonderful reunion. He's doing well and I'm sure proud of him.
And I didn't run at all. Had some marvelous weather and I stayed inside. Why? Because of the time with David. My time with him was precious and I didn't want to lose it.
Years ago, I heard a wonderful quote from Howard Hendricks who said "If you own anything you cannot give away, you don't own it, it owns you."
Yeah. Which includes running. It was a good exercise for me to "give away" running for the sake of wonderful time with David.
As much as I enjoy running, it can't become an idol, a "little god" that must be daily worshiped. So, it was good to not run. And it was nice to come home and run again.
Persevere.
Too bad David did not volunteer to go on a run with the old man. I'm sure he could use a good run to get used to all the PT he will be doing at his new duty station. By the way Joe, I am a big fan of your music!
