Chores vs Trail Running

I was just reading an old post of mine about one of my most memorable runs. Right now I can only run a few days a week (and only 4 miles at a time), but I'm slowly on the comeback. At least I'm running at all!

I just keep thinking about being able to have the freedom to drive to the woods and spend a day running on the trails, letting them wash away any tension and stress.

My mind is drifting there since I've got a laundry list of chores right now. We've got a baby coming in less than 4 weeks (whoah!). That has given me a large list of to-do's on it's own, but then we're moving to a new house next week, we're trying to get new tenants to backfill when we move out of the duplex, and on it goes.

When the thoughts start getting overwhelming I close my eyes, and picture myself running on the trails. Just have to keep praying that my injuries stay away!

In the meantime, I better stop writing and call some pediatricians to see if we can add our coming son to their patient list...
