BIG SIS- ouchhh

So yesterday I was feeling really good and really motivated for a strong run. I planned to go out for an nice strong 5 miler. Well apparently I was feeling a little too proud because about a mile and a half in, I tripped on an edge on the sidewalk and went flying to the pavement, in front of a billion cars who were probably filled with people either ooohhhing and ahhing or laughing. I jumped up, my hands were covered in blood and I stood for a minute or two deciding what to do next. I figured I might as well try to keep going. So I guess you could say my "going to be easy run" turned out a little harder then I thought. BUT, it also got me thinking about God, which is a good result. Like how sometimes we get too confident in ourselves and we may think we have the answers and we dont need to look to Him for help. At those moments (if we are lucky), God may knock us down just a little to remind us we need Him. Well anyway today I am recovering, lol, and lets just say I'll remember to pay more attention on my next run when I cross that part of the sidewalk. till next time. love you
