Lorinda BoyerI pulled on a pair of runners, tied up the laces tight
Lined up behind the racers, hoping to keep out of sight
Two minutes in, I struggled for breath, fearing I would meet my death
I pushed forward despite my pain, dodging blowing northwest rain
With every puddle I side-stepped, I grew stronger, more confident
For the moment I was simply me, not a husband’s wife nor a babe’s mommy
My body moved freely in open space, unconfined by time or place
And with that first race, on that day one, I found I absolutely love to run
This revelation did change the way I lived my life both then and todayVoting is closed
I love this. Running can really clear your mind and empower you! I was a soccer player, so we were sent on many long runs. So healthy for you physically and mentally. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of our Unsealed family <3 Lauren
