Three in a Row

I've gotten out running three mornings in a row so far this week. That's officially a record for me! The past few months I've been rebelling a bit, only doing what I felt like doing, or not doing, even if that meant avoiding those things that are good for me. My runs have been sporadic, at best. So to have gotten out three mornings in a row, even though the runs have been short ones, feels good. It's good to know that I've gotten out there purely by my own motivation, entirely on my own mental, emotional, and physical energy. There only one pushing to get me out there is me...and that feels mighty good to someone who relies far too heavily on the motivation, encouragement, and pride of others.

I did it...and I did it for me. It feels better than I thought it would.

My body, mind and spirit have definitely been thanking me for getting back into the swing of things. It's good to be back, baby. Bluenose Marathon 2009 here I come!
