Another morning run conquered
Apr. 16th, 2008 06:18 amWell, last night I was thinking about how nice it is not to have to re-shower, or re-do my make up - when I do the morning run. A bit sore from CT, but sometimes as ridiculous as it sounds it feels BETTER to run in this case. Almost like it loosens up some of the sore muscles. I'm not sure if this is true or not. Perhaps I'm just good at ignoring pain; but I took yesterday off and today was not going to be my second day this week off, so there you have it.
I also adjusted the run to just over 3 miles today instead of 4 - to give my body a bit of an extra restful buffer. I am learning that sometimes less is more. Basically if I do get up and go, I don't have to run 4 every time. I knew this, but practicing it seems hard yet. I am sort of cold so I think I cooled down proper. Must be time to hit the showers after I get the coffee going. More to report if I am not too busy doing work.
RIGHT, happy thoughts as I am calling them - I have stuff to report. Because life really is good!

Awesome!
