Life Change...



As most of you know Pearl and I are experiencing a lot of life change these days. We both decided to quit our jobs, go back to school, conquer all unfinished house projects and pretty much invite an amount of stress into our lives that is destine to have us looking gray before our time.

So this passed weekend as we rolled along on our 2200 mile journey we discussed many many topics, one of which being what other changes we should invite into our lives during this months.

The one that we both have committed to facing and in some weird way look forward to is that of getting up earlier and running.

We want to be up between 6 and 6:15 and then run together each morning.

Up and then out the door.

So this morning as we sleep through our alarm clocks neglecting our goal we still hung true to our second.

So for 1.81 miles we pounded the sidewalks of Lancaster.

With each step the reminder of lighter days, faster days, more athletic days flashed in my mind and then the desire of returning to these days echoed “keep going, there’s hope!”

So the question today is “Will we keep going?”

I sure hope so...

I know it will cause you to have to get up earlier, but you should run the trails of county park. It's easier on your legs, especially if you are not a seasoned runner.

Good luck with all that. Running sucks - I totally get the point, like the benefits but hate the act. It's so boring.

Matt.

This is a little weird because we both have started this goal at the same time. So I push you if you push me. k?
