Perserverance

Today was pretty windy here, and it was really noticeable when I went running today. At the beginning, I had to control my speed to keep the wind from pushing me along, but on the way back (uphill I might add) it was against me the whole way. It made me think about life (what do you do when running but think and try to breathe), and how one has to make a conscious effort to perservere through it despite the winds of change or adversity try to blow you back or make you swerve off to one side or the other. At times it is not easy to continue pushing on despite the resistance, but infintely worth the reward at the other end. The wind does eventually stop blowing or become more gentle.
