I finally jogged yesterday after…well, too long. I moved and was able to bring our dog which was a huge plus. I have to admit that I don’t pray as often as I should, but I do pray. I have to thank God for the plans that he had for me before this move. I didn’t know what was going to happen until two days before it happened. Was I stressed about this? Yes and no. I knew that God had a plan. I did pray. I just worried that it would be one of those lessons that I’d have to learn through trial and error. I guess I was just hoping I’d been through enough trial and error to let me “go” on this one. Thank God for always taking care of me. No matter what!
So my new jogging trail is pretty awesome! It’s an actual trail versus around the block. It’s behind our new home and it’s a full mile so I don’t have to worry about keeping track. Well, I lied. I’m not sure exactly where the mile is because it goes in different directions, but I think I’m on the right path. I’ll believe I am until I see otherwise. I’m just glad I ran (well mostly) my 3 miles and didn’t do less after not jogging for so long. There are a lot of trees and practically a squirrel for every tree.
So I saw this dog running like crazy. He was cracking me up. He was the reason I walked a bit. My trail surrounds a little creek, shall we call it, yet there is hardly ever any water in it. So he ran as fast as he could from one side and back and around in circles. It’s like he was racing himself. J Dogs are awesome! His owner was walking, but at his own pace. So the dog went to a point that his owner was heading to and sat down. As his owner walked by, he walked with him. Then he proceeded to run up to an area, pick up his left paw and peer “around the corner” (whether it was a fence or tree) and make sure there was nothing there before bolting to do it again at the next “stop”. It was so cool. I envied his energy and loved the freedom he was enjoying.
I know I’m going to enjoy my new trail. Hopefully it will be an inspiration of nature that will spark many good things to come. Thank God for all he’s done for me and my family. I’m sore today as a reminder not to wait to long to jog…or say thanks!!
