I hate running. I absolutely cannot understand why people do it for fun. Sure, sometimes I just want to run around with a dog and play around; maybe race dog til it easily outruns me. Running, though, just to run..... um, how about NOOOOOO.
I try and stay away from running, unfortunately I have tests I have to do 2-4 x a year where I have to run 2 miles in a certain time. Let's just say I try and stay away from it until the last minute. That is a bad idea. Yet here I stand, a week and a half from test and look who just ran? Oh yeah , me. Not sure why, I actually sorta enjoyed it tonight, nice and cool, good music in my ear.
I put it off until the last minute, or more so, I tried to avoid it until i couldn't. This is an analogy for life sometimes. You know, avoid something until it overwhelms you. The problem is, like running for me ... it hurts like crazy when I have to do it because I never start to deal with it until it is too late and I'm poorly prepared, life is this way. We try and avoid people, situations or dealing with situations and then they hit us (sometimes literally) in the face. Yes, life is busy at times. We all have that thing that makes us tick and there is always someone out there that knows how to set it off.
Gotta start dealing with it before it kicks our butts. Ah , running, you win today. Tomorrow, it will be better. I'm gonna deal with you day by day. I hope somehow it will also be in day to day how we deal with our problems, one step at a time. One day at a time. Today is all there is, even if you fail, least you are better off now than when it beat you down.
