Barbed Wire Hurts

Friday I did something sssstupi...silly. I was running four on the greenbelt and when I got done I really had to pee. It was a beautiful day and there were a ton of people hiking around the trail and enjoying the falls, so I jumped off the trail in search of secluded area. I had to go so bad that I was sprinting through the woods and did not realize that there was a barbed wire fence blocking off an area of trail. Yes, I ran full speed into it. One of the barbs stuck in my shin and I was bent over it, pretty much in a downward dog position holding myself up so I didnt get any more stuck in the fence. It took what seemed like 30 minutes but was probably more like 2 to walk myself backward with my hands and pull myself up into a standing position and then pull the wire out of my leg. I kept praying really hard the whole time that God would help me get free from the mess I had got myself into. I also kept telling myself that people and animals chew off their own limbs to get free so I could definitely get out of this. I wore a long dress to the wedding I attended this weekend, needless to say and Sunday afternoon I was back up and running. Lesson to be learned: don't get ahead of yourself, take a break when you need to instead of pushing yourself to the finish only to get hurt, watch where you are going and take the time to enjoy all the things around you. If you aren't able to see a fence infront of you, you are missing the beautiful things that God has to show you. That's it. Keep pushin' LJ
