Since we are scheduled to be in Florida in 16 days i have set a goal to lose some weight before we go. I have been trying for a week + 2 days now. And so far the damn red line on the scale has yet to move! I seriously think its broken. Everyday (except Sundays) I do something whether it be running or pilates or my "Biggest Loser Last Chance" workout video or my "Biggest Loser Weight loss yoga" video. I am doing hard exercise for at least an hour everyday - sometimes an hour and a half.
Anyways I have started running in the cemetery that we live behind. I have ran 5 times now. The first time I literally couldn't run more than a few minutes before walking. But I am amazed at how much I improve each time my feet hit the pavement. Today I ran for 20 mins, stopped for 2 min then ran for 10 more.
The place I run is heaven too me. I put on my David Crowder "Hymn Music" on my trusty iPod and am instantly connected to my Creator. The grass is so green and lush. The winding, darkly paved road contrast beautiful to manicured lawns and trees - causing them to pop. If I run at dusk the sunsetting hits everything perfectly. And I feel like I could run forever - well that is until i snap back to reality and feel the burning in my legs.
But it really has become something i look forward too - and what gets me out there each time is knowing how beautiful it will be, and the quiet time i will get to spend with the Lord.
I will definitely miss my cemetery runs.
