My place of peace

Movin' it with Michelle

Thanks to everyone for your amazing love and support during this tough time. I’ve truly turned a new leaf and although am still overcome with sadness, I finally feel like I can maybe. Just maybe…get through this next year and a half. Although my husband hasn’t left yet, his spare time is spent preparing, and sadly worrying. We’ve both had our fair share of sleepless nights. So last night I revisited one of my favorite trails where I run, and it was there I found a little peace. 

  
And as I rounded this corner at mile 2 of my 4 mile run, I forgot for a moment that I was running. I forgot all my worries. And I was smiling from ear to ear. 

  
The sun was setting, I was chasing daylight, and I was smiling. It’s days like these I realize I must hang on tight to during the next year and a half. 

Where’s your place of peace? How do you find the good in a bad situation?

Have a great night!!

~Michelle

My name is Michelle and I am a retired Air Force Master Sergeant. I have found a passion for running, cooking, writing, photography and all things that move my love for life! I've ran 3 full marathons, with a PR of 4:25, and 17 half marathons with a PR of 2:00:11 (yup-missed sub 2 by 11 seconds, lol). Thanks for joining me on my journey!

  1. agreed on place of peace being out in nature. That trail looks PERFECT and its the type of trail I miss! All the “trails” here in SoCal are dusty and mostly just open fire roads, but when you get to the top and look out over everything…. it’s wonderful.

  3. What a gorgeous trail. Running bring me peace, even if I’m on a sidewalk with cars going by. The beauty and tranquility of your trail would make me smile too. I’m so happy you found peace and happiness on your run. Xoxo

  9. I just love when fallen leaves line a trail. So beautiful! I don’t have a specific place of peace yet, but I’d love to find one!
