First Time Out!

I have chosen the race.  It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL the other day.  I didn't have a lot of time but I had what I needed!
Shoes
Dry-Wic Shirt
Shorts
Music
Hat
I headed out and was so pumped I couldn't get the pace right. I was to fast and then I was feeling like I was moving like a snail. It was a few moments of frustration and trying to figure it out!  I was really struggling. So I just kind of took a moment and prayed.  "Help me find the rhythm ".
I just kept moving forward and about 5 strides ahead of me this woman is running. She smiles and is coming from a side road.  I took a walk break and fell in behind her.  She was about 20 years older than me and just inspired and motivated me.  She had a pace.  I could follow hers.  Not to fast. Not to slow. PERFECT!!!  I was absolutely BEAMING!!!!!  It was time for me to split off and head back to my car.  I took a few extra steps and with a HUGE grin on my face I told her "Thank you so much for helping me find my pace today". She told me I must be wanting to run slow and smiled.  I said "No, just trying to return after being gone for a almost 2 years."  I thanked her again and ran to my car.
It just amazes me how He shows up!  Ask and there He is!!!
This return to running is going to be AWESOME!!!!!

Let's Do This!
