My 5 foot 8 inch frame does not like to be stretched physically. I started running 3 years ago and know that runners often stretch before and/or after running, but I didn't. Then, earlier this year I saw a physical therapist for a shoulder issue. She gave me stretches. Then, I switched chiropractors, and he gave me stretches. So, I'm stretching... I'm not good at it. I can't touch my toes. But, I keep stretching. Every other day. Little by little the floor gets closer to my finger tips.
I stretch in other way fine, I think. Our family stretched at the beginning of the year by trying out a new church. Our new church is close to our home. It is nice to be able to walk to church for week day activities. Our oldest has taken to riding his bike to church. Which, I love that he desires to be physically active and that he enjoys going to our Lord's house.
I thought I was handling this stretch just fine, until two weeks ago when there was a bump in the road. Our Pastor stepped down. It isn't really...
Stretch
Yes, stretching is not fun sometimes!! I have learned that stretching after I run is so beneficial. Will pray that this new stretching gets better regarding your pastor.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouragement.
DeleteDear Jessica, I have a family of runners, I am not one of them. My body at 5'6" is made out more for power lifting. I like to hike and walk for hours. Having 4 children in 5 years has kept me stretched for the last 21 years. I am now stretching through the down hill side of the teen years.
ReplyDeleteI too will pray for your church change. I too go a community church and I hope that your community will grow together as you go through this "bump in the road". Roman 8: 28,29
Thank you, for your encouragement.
DeleteI had three boys in 39 months. I am stretching through early elementary.
