Day off...

Today was my day off. I thought I would really enjoy not running today, but I think I might be getting addicted. I craved a run today! Am I normal? I swear at night I can't fall asleep because I'm thinking about the next day's run, or mapping out (in my mind) where my next route will go. I feel like an addict, because as soon as I'm done with a run, I'm thinking about where my next one will be! I suppose it's a good thing to be addicted to.

I feel badly, though, because that is how I should feel about playing with my kids, reading my Bible, spending time with God...but it seems my mental priority has shifted to running. I'm not content with this. I mean, I think it's good for me to have something that I really love doing, especially since it involves keeping myself healthy, but I need to be careful that my priorities stay in the right place. I need to make sure that God keeps His position on the top of my list, and then hopefully the rest will fall into place.

I guess it's probably the "newness" of it all...the fact that I have found a hobby that I enjoy and am still sticking with it is exciting to me! I love having a goal to work toward...hmm..maybe I need to incorporate that goal-minded mentality into my relationship with God, too. If I can set my mind to some kind of goal to achieve in that area, maybe I can maintain some freshness in my relationship with Him while also working toward something...now to figure out what that goal would be...

Tomorrow I'm back to running--I'm doing 3 miles with Amber in the a.m. Maybe I'll talk to her about my dilemma...
