Is when I'm able to come home to this...
Today's run felt really good.
I might have actually even cried on mile 4. Yes, I admit it. I would like to think it was because I fell, or a body part was hurting but NO...I just cried. I think the emotions were strong today because for the first time, I wasn't thinking about when the run would be over. I wasn't thinking about what body part was aching, I was just RUNNING. I felt totally alive and could not believe that, although I had been on this weight loss journey for a long time, my running was terrible just a year ago. It was awful in the beginning. I think I might have hated it. Now I love it. I mean, I could barely run 1/2 mile without feeling weak and having to stop! I'm serious. It is TRULY amazing what our bodies are capable of.
Get out there today and make today a day for a GREAT workout! A run, walk, workout at the gym, swim, bike...whatever, JUST KEEP MOVING!

Congrats on reaching that milestone. So important to keep ourselves healthy. I run about 2 miles a day and I need to do more but just don't have time!
That's such a great feeling--what a gift running is! I had an awesome run this a.m. in a relay with my daughter. Nothing better!
I love hearing that!!! Isn't it great when you cross over from dreading running to craving it! I am about to go insane being sidelined and I can't wait until I get to run again!! I am pretty sure I will be crying too!
Marissa... so happy for you! Love this post!
Wahoooo... and great picture, too.
Love this! It really is amazing what are bodies are capable of! I remember the first time I got that amazing "runners high" it was an Aha moment, I finally understood why people enjoy running LOL. So proud of you!
