Just another day in paradise
So it is Tuesday and my buddy came over and wathed the kids while i went running. It was a beautiful day out. rolling clouds, various blues in the sky, slight wind, and 34 degrees. Of course at first it is frigid to a body that has been in 72 degrees. However it was not long before my body (granted, I have the GOOD insulation) got used to the temperature and gave way. I went a different direction today which gave me a new chance to view different scenery. Being that it is so cold out, the trees are mostly bare. However there are some trees hanging onto their leaves as if possesive of of the life they hold. the colors are magnifecent reds, yellows, oranges, and all stages of browns. I was listening to my Rascal Flats music and really enjoying it. Somehow the first mile doesnt seem that dificult anymore. Sometimes my shins tell me I'm running but other than that if I stay at my pace I can really get into it. About 1.5 miles into my run my hip litterally went out of socket. Nearly put me on the ground in pain thinking I was goig to throw up. I moved it back in and what seemed to me to be up a bit. it was then a huge decision for me to either slowly walk home, keep going and run through the pain, or turn around and start home but doing the running as best I could. So I started back and kept the pace I had only I limped just a bit on the right side. It was at first very difficult and extremly painful. After the initial push to get running again it was easier to run than walk. 10 minutes later and almost home I actually started to feel some relief from the pain as if my hip had worked itself back into place. By the time I was in front of my house I wanted to keep going on....what is it with my body??? I did not keep going on though. I know that if I push too hard I could do some real damage as for now I think it may be Chiroprator time. I must say this, to any who find it hard to get that first push out the door on cold days, it is so invigorating and refreshing to be out there. I can not believe that it was 2 months ago that I hated this and could hardly breath when I was finished. I remember the day vividly that Cris and Becca had to cheer me on to finish. that was like 2 miles and now 2 miles is a beginer for me. I am most likely going to go out tonight to run again. In a time of political and moral unrest it is so nice to run and let God show me His magesty. What a miracle! BYE:)
