My socks don’t normally talk.
Except today, when I pulled them out of my suitcase and they screamed, “I AM AWESOME.”
It’s hard to ignore that sort of fanfare, especially when it’s coming from your feet.
I forgot about these totally inspiring socks until today. They were tucked in my stocking at Christmas (thanks Kim!).
I rediscovered them on the best day possible.
Laura invited me to join her on a run today.
At first, I thought of an ABUNDANCE of excuses to decline…
I have to write my blog, I haven’t run in months, I started my period, my computer needs me.
Then I looked down at my feet. They screamed back.
“I am awesome.”
How could I say NO to toes like that?
So I went for the run.
I forgot how much I hate the taste of my lungs bleeding and the feeling of my legs tingling after gasping for air on an uphill climb.
I also forgot how great it feels to finish a run, walk off the pain, and then melt into a nice, hot shower.
It was exhilarating. Like I actually did something.
Thanks Laura, for the invite.
Thanks Kim, for the socks.
Thanks toes, for the reminder.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget what we can do.
It’s even more difficult to remember things like, “I am awesome” in moments of wavering and waffling and the myriad of excuses that go along with them.
But it’s most comforting to know that sometimes inspiration is as easy as looking down.
At your toes.
More tomorrow.
Lovemore,
Jamie
