This morning was hard. Hard to get back into the routine of getting up and going for a run. I ran when on vacation but not first thing in the morning. So this morning was tough. It was also tough cause it was so hot and dry... even at 7am. I had planned on being on the road by 545 but DH had to work early this morning so i had to change it where i ran with the kids at track.
the first mile was the hardest. I couldn't find my rhythm my comfy pace was no where to be found. The second mile was better as a fellow track mom ran past me and motivated me to kick my pace up a bit. The third mile was with the children, i hung back with the little ones and that was sweet. The last mile was fast and I was happy to finally find my pace. I kept telling myself to run for the joy of it. I even started my watch at the beginning of the run and then stopped it by the second mile cause I wanted to not be concerned with how fast but how i felt! :)
Now that I am home and cooling down i feel so good :) Happy, relaxed and ready to start the day :)
I found this show this morning... below is a preview
