Running, Rabbits and Some Randomness

Good news, I still remember how to sign in to blogger! I have gone back and forth in my head debating continuing my blog or just giving up. After reading back through my old blogs and remembering different things that were going on I decided to put some effort back into my blog. Also, my sister went and posted last week so I can't let her get ahead of me! I do have one condition; I want comments. I don't like talking to myself! One of my goals as I restart blogging, is a little more variety in my subjects (not just Mallory). I love her to pieces and she is the cutest thing I've ever see, but sometimes a little balance is good. So, here goes...

I read an article in Runners World this week that a "mommy runner" had written that I really related to. The writer told how she, her husband, and her son all agree that life is better when she gets to run. I really do feel like I'm a better me when I get to run. I can let my mind wander and think about anything, everything, or nothing and just be me. I'm very thankful for Matthew and his mom making my Saturday morning runs possible.

I've been blessed to make some great friends through running, but today I was all alone thanks to a late start and road construction. Fortunately I did have some company with my ipod. Seriously, what would we do without them? It was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed my 13 miles on my own with Jack. That's what I've named the voice in my ipod. Don't worry about me hearing voices, he works with my nike+ chip and just tells me how far I've run or have left. Nothing else.

I say I was alone for my run, but that's not entirely true. I think I saw more people out running today than ever probably because it was the first time we've seen the sun in what seems like weeks. There were 2 organized runs going on along A.P. and downtown. There where people everywhere! I even saw a rabbit hopping along next to me for a sec. I thought it was pretty crazy to see a little bunny rabbit in the shadows of downtown.

I also wondered if today was "Walk Your Dog" day or something. There were people walking dogs everywhere! I even saw two different women pushing their dogs in strollers. One was a small dog wearing a sweater. The other was a collie with a crazy collar/necklace thing that looked ready for Mardi Gras. Nuts!

I also saw a homeless man doing his laundry in a bucket next to a water faucet. Just another reminder these days of just how blessed we are. We may not have everything we want, but there is not a single thing I need that God has not provided!

Well, that's enough for now. I've got a whole list of things to do tonight to be ready for church in the morning. Stay tuned for more earth shattering posts from me. I promise, the next one will star Mallory Joy!
