Oh, I am so glad that I got up and ran this morning for a few reasons, let me share:

1).  I only got about 4 1/2 -5 hours of sleep Saturday night so I was very tired this morning and didn't want to get up, but I did, YEA!!.

2.) After realizing how much weight I have gained since the marathon, I am taking on a whole new motto with my running, diet, etc. "I am not young anymore, I have to work hard if I want to see results".

3.) About 45 minutes after I got home, it started pouring rain outside and while I was running it was beautiful (lucked out).

4.) Now, I am sitting here at work and it just feels good knowing that I have gotten my exercise in for the day so I don't have to feel guilty.

5.) I got to visit with "the Heidi's" for almost an hour which is enough to get anyones day started off on the right foot. 

6.) All of my boys cooperated this morning which resulted in a happy mom, happy boys and a good feeling to get my day started. 

See, all of this was made possible just because I got up and ran!!  What a great way to start my day!

You say you're not young, but you look like you're about 19 in your picture.

Okay, I am still young but just getting to the age where things aren't as easy as they used to be. I am just a few short months away from being 30, da da da daaaa (tone gets lower with each of those da's) which feels like doombs day because I have heard how everything changes with your body the closer you get to 30 and I am totally understanding that concept already, so it's only bound to get worse right? Scary!
