Yr. 2, Day 228 - Just Do It!

My running partner had suggested a run tonight if her plans for the evening finished early enough. I hadn't heard from her by 7:30 and I was exhausted, so I decided to enjoy a long, hot bath. As the water ran I thought, if I get in she will phone, if I don't she won't! Sure enough, as I relaxed to relieve the stress of today's events, the phone rang.

She suggested I get out of the bath, dry my hair, throw on a hat, and just do it! So, I did just that and I feel great. I was able to run 5.46 km without difficulty and I feel great! Running is such a stress reliever for me, allowing me to clear my mind and feel strong. I came home so stinky that I was able to enjoy another bath!

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to run the entire distance because I've had so many days off in between runs, due to weather and life. I am hopeful that the cold, snowy, windy days are gone, although it snowed this afternoon! Now is the time to just do it - to increase my speed and endurance and decrease my stress from everyday living.

My eating was bang on! It's been a good day. I need a few weeks of days life this and I will see this extra weight melt away right to goal!

Eating less, moving more,
