Inertia

So I woke up this morning to the sun shining on the snow outside. It's been three days of snow days and it is always a blessing to see the beauty after the storm. I've been lucky to live in so many different types of environments in my life...

In Florida I got to experience the tremendous fury of a hurricane and what a real thunderstorm is like. We used to watch the lightening from our garage.

Japan brought the most amounts of snow you could possibly fathom in one night. And with it the Sapporo Snow festival got built and is still one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!

North Carolina had some tremendous ice storms! I woke up one morning and my car looked like an ice sculpture. This pic is from that ice storm:




And Michigan, Michigan has all sorts, but in my adult life I get to spend a snow storm inside with my baby and then go running after it's all done. This is awesome!



So I have decided to run the River Bank Run in May... today was the first day that I actually started training. I feel like God was giving me the snow days to really relax in my home - and lots got done, even the junk drawer got cleaned! So to wake up to a beautiful morning and challenge myself to actually begin the River Bank journey, was AWESOME! Running is HARD... and it takes everything in me to keep going. But I have discovered my secret word:


INERTIA


It's Newton's first and coolest law... and well I think it's true for running. Once you get going... you HAVE to keep going :) I guess as my mass decreases, my inertia should too... but I'll defy physics with that one!
