Running and Getting Nowhere Fast

We were on our own again today, Henri and I. We stayed close to home, so we got out a little earlier. We caught a little more of the sunshine and a lot of wind.

I am not really good at figuring which direction the wind is blowing and where we're going to be running into it. Thankfully, more often than not, it's blowing in a direction that we're heading into at the beginning. Sure, this makes it harder to get going, but it's mostly smooth sailing after that if we (I) can push through. 

Today's run felt like a metaphor. Sometimes, life is hard. You work and you push and sometimes you just feel dragged down, or like you're trying, but you're getting nowhere fast. Then, one day, you're through it and you're stronger for it. Maybe you weren't really that weak to start with. It may not have gone quite the way you wanted it to, but here you are, on the other side. Oh, and it's always better to go through it with a friend close by your side.
