A Beautiful, Sweaty Mess

When I run, that's often how I feel, even though on the outside I'm a dripping, red-faced, no-make-up-wearing, sweaty, hot mess.

When I run...

I am confident. I will chat with another runner, and I will be the first to strike up a conversation; something that is normally hard for me to do.

When I run...

I feel beautiful. A term that is not usually used to describe me.

When I run...

I am strong. My leg muscles carry my body for miles and miles at a time.

When I run...

My often cluttered mind becomes suddenly clear; with a clarity only a good runner's high can achieve.

When I run...

The guilt of past days not-so-great mom moments I sometimes have are gently released with each breath in and out.

When I run...

I feel like anything is possible.

When I run...

I smile.

And when I walk in the door to meet the chaos and clutter and four little kids begging for my attention...

I'm still smiling...

Because the beautiful, sweaty mess that is me is truly blessed.
