So this morning I woke up to my phone ringing too early There was my very excited mom on the other end that said
- Mom-”did you go for your run this morning?”
- Me “no, I am still sleeping”
- Mom- “well you better get going”
Shoot I thought… I almost got out of it! So yes as you can see, I did go! I put on a lot of layers included hat and gloves and just went for it! It felt great and it was a very friendly reminder of how great running can make someone feel!
I let my iPhone drive my workout today and did it with the RunKeeper app that keeps me on track of my running. It was a 2.25 mile workout with slow, steady, and fast running.. oh and the five minute warm up too! The air was COLD and by the time I got back my lungs were in desperate need of my dorky inhaler but it really made me feel great and I enjoyed the run.
It’s funny because now looking back on this mornings run I don’t remember what I was thinking about! I think it was one of those runs that could really clear my head and that didn’t make me think of anything! Just what I needed after a long week of work and a weekend I was looking forward to!
Thank goodness I have my mom to keep me on track and to encourage me (even when i don’t want to be encourged) but she was right. Afterall, I am
Engaged and Running
