Fell off the wagon for keeping a training log. I'm back now.
Running has been a little sporadic. I had a strained calf and took about a week off. Aaron was out of town so I didn't run much that week except for one day when I ran one mile laps around my house checking in on the kids each time, for a total of 4 miles. Now I'm getting back into a groove.
On this morning’s run I wore my iPod and blasted music into my ears for the first time in…years, I think. Wow, it was just what I needed. I was overcome with an incredible emotional response. I literally cried for the entire first 20 minutes of my run. I’ve been feeling up and down lately. More down than I would like to admit, not for any really good reason, I’m just struggling to feel happy in life in general. And today, the music lifted me. Brought back all sorts of happy memories. Exposed my doubts and insecurities. Lifted my confidence and gave me a resolve to be happy. It was exactly what I needed.
