When Running and Life Collide: Today Katie and I got pretty quiet right around mile 5. It was just her and I out there this morning on the trail doing our 8 mile routine. I was trying to teach Katie how to listen to her breathing and her feet hitting the pavement. That if she listens closely and studies herself she will learn so much about her speed and stamina.

 "Anita, shhhh." I tell myself this aften too late. Reminding myself to listen more and talk less.  I have never struggled in the talking department, but being quiet..I need work. I think that is why running is so therapeutic to me. You have to be in your own head with out ANY interruptions. And it can be really CONVICTING in there. In life when there are less distractions and more times of silence we can really learn so much about ourselves. . Sometimes we may not like what we hear. But we are all in training. There are times when I hear myself breathing while running and it makes me so upset to hear the exhaustion of my inhale and exhale. Well there are also times in my quietness that I hear my imperfections, my anger, my lack of patience, my snap judgments....It is powerful to be still and just listen...Be careful though...You may not always like what you hear..

How was your day today? Any confessions? Did you say your prayers tonight? If so...Remember me as you saw all my confessions...Those were only 5!!
