A better me.

Source: mylifeasawife.intercen.com via Aubrey on Pinterest   I’ve said it many times before. Running is my “me” time. It clears my head, enables me to have some breathing room, some thinking room. It’s really the one time throughout the day when it’s just me being me. I don’t always love running but I do always […]

Why I do it.

photo credit:  Why do you run? I get asked quite often this question. I have lots of reasons why, which some have changed as life has changed… It makes me a better wife and mother. It is time for me to clear my head. To be alone. To listen to Him and talk to Him […]
