Running When You Don’t Want To

It took everything I had to run this morning.

I was tired and burnt out from parenting … tired of fighting, tired of attitude, tired of reminding, tired of feeling like I’m failing. Parenting is HARD. And I know being an almost-teen is hard too. I have no happy ending or magic words of advice for the end of this post either.

But I can say that I’m glad I dragged myself out to run. It was a beautiful morning on the trails and it helped me feel less frustrated. Not sure what after school will bring, but at least I had one hour of peace in nature this morning.
