It was actually 50 degrees today and I didn't get out to run in it!!! I couldn't believe it! It was extremely windy (in fact, last night was freaky with the gusty winds) but that wasn't the reason I didn't run. I just kept having places I needed to be in the morning and then I was soooo tired after lunch and was about to take a nap when my sister-in-law and her 3 children came to visit. This evening, we had a ward potluck and while we were there, I asked my friend if she would mind if I came and used the exercise equipment at her apartment complex after dinner. She's offered before, but we've never been able to make it work. So, even though it was 50 degrees today, I actually ran on a treadmill! LOL How ironic. It was very interesting to be on a treadmill. The urge to walk was stronger and the miles dragged by - especially mile 2. The last 2 probably felt the fastest because I found a groove. But, wow, did I sweat a lot more! ;o) I think I definitely want a treadmill. It's nice to just run after the girls are all in bed. They all go down at 7:30, so it's easy to fit a run in before it gets late. But I don't feel safe running in the dark. I certainly don't want to run on a treadmill regularly, but it has it's advantages! I think I also feel better today because I went to the chiropractor yesterday. He said my right leg was a full inch shorter because I was so out of whack. It actually felt weird after being adjusted because I had gotten so used to being "out." So while I was running and my friend was on the elliptical, she asked me if I run to get fit or to lose weight. I had to smile, because to be honest ... I RUN TO BLOG!! That should be my new motto because it's surprisingly true. I love having a log that I have to own up to; and having it public makes it even more motivating to me! I love all of you!!!!
