Put one foot in front of the other..

Well.. I survived a two mile run..that wasn't on a treadmill..

I'm not proud of my time.. But it's faster than sitting on the couch eating unwrapped starburst(yum)! 

However, I'm not going to focus on time because honestly it's not why I'm running.

I've found this new love in running. It may be because of the scenery, or my playlist, or my new workout gear.. But I think it's the fact that I know I'm going to be running for a good reason here in the next few months.

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm running in two weeks for an organization that I used to be involved with and I absolutely adore everything about. Then in March I will be running for Brain Disorders with my mom at the beach(major plus).. Which hits super close to home. (My mom's mom had brain tumors and after her second surgery for removal she was never the same, she's the one that passed away last year) So I almost feel like I've got my own running buddy.. 

While running I get to sort through my troubles and my joys and my to-do's.. And sometimes I bend God's ear or even ask him to hand the phone to my Memaw..

Dare I say it.. I actually enjoy my time running.. 

So, what gets you going?

It doesn't have to be EXCERCISE. It could be just getting you out of the bed..

Is it someone you look up to? A goal you have? That new album that your favorite band just put out?

Right now mine would be my memaw, wanting to complete a 5k without walking, and my playlist (which includes lots of P!nk, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, We The Kings, A Rocket to The Moon, & many many more) 

Talk to me! Let me know! I'm also always up for new music suggestions! 

Hope you've had a wonderful Saturday!

peace & love
