Lots O' Running

This week is off to a good start. Yesterday I got up early to run. It's staying dark longer in the mornings. Summer is coming to an end. In another week the kids start school, and life goes back to the usual routine. I'm a little torn about it. I'm looking forward to being back on my schedule and having time to work, write, and run. At the same time, I worked a lot this summer. We didn't get to do as many family trips as we had hoped because of car problems. I just want a little more time to spend with the whole family. The school year is always so busy.

Anyway, back to my runs. Yesterday's run was great. I felt good. I ran almost all of it. I was glad to get it in early. It was almost 90 degrees yesterday, but the morning was in the mid-60s. Nice running weather. This morning I wanted to run again. I just had to do it. It was harder this morning. My shins and hips ached. I walked more than yesterday but didn't go that much slower. I'm glad I got it done. It's supposed to be even hotter today.

I'm meeting some friends tomorrow, too. Three days of running in a row. I'm pretty proud of myself. It's nice to want to run and not feel like I have to do it.

I do need to do some yoga today, though. My legs are really tight. I'm going to take Thursday off from running because I have TKD. Friday, I'll run, and Sunday is my long run day. Lots of running this week. I'm enjoying it.

I've always felt like I had to run. Finally starting to enjoy it.
