Yesterday was a scorcher out and I planned on running my 1.5 to 2 miles in the evening. Well the evening went by in a blur, busy making homemade salsa and dinner and eating and dealing with baby who wouldn't eat, i was slightly worried i wouldn't make it to my run. Lately i've been crashing at like 8pm, just tired these last few weeks.
I really needed my run. And running i went. It was so hot i decided i just needed to run 1.5 miles. Well i ran the first one nonstop. Passed two different guys who said, "Its too hot out to be running."
Now old me would have agreed and then muttered to myself "it is frickin hot, i'm tired lets stop and go home," and then i would have quit before reaching my goal and gone home dissapointed.
New me. Nope. I smiled at each guy and said, "its a beautiful night out for a run." And i meant it. My route was mostly in shade. My first mile was easy. I walked about two minutes. Ran second mile. It too was easy. And I walked the whole three blocks home with a big grin on my face cause i am one of them.
A runner. Rain, shine, cold, heat. Doesn't matter. Tired, stressed, hungry. Doesn't matter. I still get out and run. And i enjoy it!
