love no schedule!

I am loving exercise this week. Started lifting again this week and boy did my legs remind me of that. However, I am kind of crazy and I like waking up the next morning to sore muscles. It reminds me that I worked hard the day before and I know if I get up and get moving those aches will slowly go away. I have been trying the P90X workouts and I kind of like them. The dude reminds me of a Ken barbie doll with his plastic hair and all but the leg workout it great. I especially like it because he does a lot of single leg squats and this is great for runners because we are in single leg stance a lot. I went for a run yesterday morning and again had no agenda. It was still dark outside but so quiet and peaceful. As I ran the first mile warmed up my sore legs and I was able to tackle a small hill. I kept running and noticed a runner ahead of me in all black. I thought is this woman crazy it's dark out here and she is in all black. I had to catch this person it became my challenge for the morning. I did catch her and it was my friend from church, Lynne. She is seriously the sweetest lady you have ever met. Her pace is slower than mine but I ran with her anyway and loved every minute. She is so up lifting and positive that you can't help but feel good after talking with Lynne. We left each other at mile 3 1/2 and I picked up my pace to make it home. I felt AWESOME. I wanted to run more but had to get home so my hubby could get ready for work.
I love no agenda but I really love positive people and running with them. That has to be the best combo ever how can you not have a runners high after those two things.
Hope you have a runners high today.

Where have I been!

AAAH, keeping a journal has never been an easy thing for me. I always have the best intentions to write everyday, but as you can painfully see I have missed a few days. However, I do have good things to report. I went for a run on Saturday and stuck to my motto whatever happens, happens. Well that day I happened to run4 miles and was still a bit discouraged cause it still felt like work. (I know running is work but it use to be fun work) I didn't let this get me that day because I said this month was a break month and I was just going to do whatever. So, Monday rolls around and I played hookey. Yep I slept in but it felt good and it was a good thing I did. Monday night my little girl didn't sleep much at all so that meant I didn't sleep much either. THe next morning I thought I would be dog tired but all I really wanted to do was run. So, I dropped my son off at school, packed my baby girl in the B.O.B. and off we went. I am happy to tell you this run was A-W-E-S-O-M-E. The morning was a crisp fall morning which I love. I took my GPS but didn't look at it until I was done. I enjoyed every step of my 4 1/2 miles. Running with no expectations was so perfect for that day. I had planned on only doing 3 but my baby girl was doing great so I took an extra turn. Running with the stroller also helped my work on my form. Stand tall, feet underneath me, kick my butt, and knee forward. That might not make much sense to any of you but it totally does for me. I think I might actually like running once again. I have started looking my a marathon to do in May of 2011 so if there are any readers out there and you know of one please let me know. Gotta get running have a great one!
