I have decided to run just over a mile for every single day of lent (except the first, because I hadn't thought of it then!)
Today Caitlin joined Tony and I but she was in a bad mood, which was made much worse by the fact that she tripped and went flying, grazing her knee and elbow. We made her finish the run, though, and by the time she had, her mood had improved and she had got over the misery that could so easily have lasted all day.
She did upset me by walking alongside me and overtaking me as I was struggling up the hill. I am SO awfully hopeless, and it HURTS every single cell of my body, and I feel so COMPLETELY inadequate, and yes, I could very easily walk it faster. So why run it? Why put myself through the misery? Because, I so very hope that one day I will actually be able to run, and enjoy it, because it is without doubt, the easiest way to get your heart beating fast.
At least at the end of this 40 days I will be able to see if there is a point, and what exactly it is.
Caitlin, would you like me to contact social services? Jenny

ReplyDeleteJen, it is me who should be contacting social services. She WALKED past me, GRINNING, as I puffed myself up the hill at less than snail's pace. I didn't raise her to LAUGH AT ME!!!
