Space and Time

I value both Space and Time. As someone who loves people, to be on the move, to always be doing something, the importance for me in my day to have both Space and Time is really important, I would go as far as to say vital for me to stay healthy and happy. As a distance runner, I spend hours at a time on the roads and I need that. I need that time to process and feel things, to sort out my day or tackle a problem. I also need space, I don't like being confined in a building or my house all day. I am not saying I am camping every other day (true confession as an adult I have never been camping!) but I do love getting out on the roads and having them to myself. So today, when I picked up my 6 year old after school, I told her we were going for a drive...so we drove for 2 hours! We did make a pit stop for ice cream but since this last week I've been recovering and not running, I needed that space and time. I needed the road. We listened to music at full volume and commented on all the streams. It was good for my soul. If it hadn't been raining we for sure would have gone for a walk or something too but it was 40 degrees and raining, no thanks. Looking forward to getting out there again tomorrow for a 6 miler, easy, gentle, no agenda, just being...
