RUNNING IN THE RAIN

This morning it rained.
Then it cleared.
I headed out for my jog.
When I was at the first furthest point from home it started to rain.
So what did I do?
Did I whinge?
Did I get angry?
No I put a big smile on my face and gave thanks for:
  • the rain that would do all of our gardens good
  • having 2 good legs that allow me to go running
  • having enough money to buy an IPod and good running shoes
  • living in such a lovely area that I have lakes to run around and parks to run through
  • my BS safe and sheltered at home playing his X Box
  • my WH enjoying his coffee and reading the paper
  • the weekend after a busy week at work.

As I neared the one hour mark I was tired and was really shuffling. Then the remake of Need You Tonight by INXS came on my IPod and gave me a small burst of energy. But it didnt see me home so I hit the play again button and cranked it up LOUD. I thought F*CK THIS SHUFFLING, I'M FINISHING WITH A RUN and I dug in and found energy I didnt know I had and powered it on home and finished on a true runner's high.

INVINCIBLE!!

Cheers all
