If anyone knows me, they know I am seriously directionally challenged. I started teaching again this year and I am a travelling teacher, that just means I don't have a classroom. It was several months before I didn't wander around the halls trying to figure out where I was. It really is that bad for me.
Currently I am training for the Gate River Run which includes the Hart Bridge at mile 8. I had plans to meet up with a friend in Riverside to run the bridges. My husband gave me explicit directions, including landmarks, to the Riverside YMCA. Now in my defense, 95 has changed alot recently, but I went south instead of North and didn't make it. I ended up in Southside Park so I decided to run from there. In spite of being lost, I had a great run. Crossed the Acosta Bridge (which is very tall) 3 times and the Main Street once. It ended up being a wonderful 6 miles. I got mixed up in the Donna 5k at one point. Jacksonville really is a beautiful city!
I guess the moral of this story is that we are really never lost, God is always in control. He knew what I really needed that day. My friend's group actually changed their time. I don't really like to run with anyone. The weather was beautiful and I had no real agenda.
