Busy

It's funny how routine running has become for me. I used to look forward to just going home and vegging all night. Now, I look forward to my evening runs.

The last two weeks have been unusually busy for us. Last week was my mom's birthday, we've had after work doctor's appointments, there have been viewings to go to and deadlines to meet. All of these things have interfered with my runs. Twice I intended to run and at the last minute my plans were changed and I couldn't do it. One of those nights was tonight. I planned on running a 4 mile race (slowly) with my running group, but my husband has a deadline he has to meet for work tomorrow and things blew up a bit today. So he needed to stay late. And I missed my run...I did manage to get in 20 minutes, but not the 4 miles I was looking forward to. And it was quite possibly the most beautiful evening of the summer. Extremely mild, nice breeze, no humidity... Last week I missed a run because of my mom's birthday dinner. I intended to go beforehand, but time escaped me.

I noticed that on both evenings, I felt like something was missing...sure I ran tonight, but I knew I didn't get to do what I wanted. And it messed up my mood! I was in a really foul mood last week.

One of these days I'll post a list of all the positive changes in my life that running has brought. But not tonight. I'm too sleepy.

Still running

I'm still running, getting stronger (but not faster) every day. I notice that running is becoming a habit. Every morning that I plan a run, I automatically pack a bag. On days I plan to run but don't for some reason, I am annoyed.

I found another way to track my runs on here:



I have another run planned for tonight. I am looking forward to it.
