I got this email from someone I met this weekend on our camping trip who is also a runner:
"By the way, I met another mom yesterday who is a runner also. She told me that when she sees a hill, she tells herself, "Oh good, a hill! Now my legs will be able to work a different type of muscle for a while." She does this, and the hill no longer becomes a chore for her. I loved this. Running is such a mental game."
I've had some aches and pains lately as the month of May was an intense month of training. Quite frankly, I don't always look at a hill and think, "Oh good!" But, this other mother runner is right. It all depends on how you look at it .
Praying today for some shifts in perspective that you will be able to say, "Oh good!" rather than some other choice words that might come to mind when a hill is before you. :)
