Up and Adam!

Funniest thing, but I was soo excited to get up today and run. Haven't been able to work out for a week now. Felt like a kid waking on her birthday....it was going to be a really good day.

Alarm sounded at 4:45 and I shot out of bed (this is where you think I'm a little over the top..). I laced up my brand new Nike Shox (blue and lime green thank you!) and off the gym. Was scheduled to run 3.5 miles. Set the treadmill on intervals, 3 min @ 5.5 mph and 1 min @ 6.5 mph, 2.5 incline. Not too fast...not too slow. Felt jusssst right. Legs felt great, nice and strong. First time in a while it felt completely effortless. Maybe that week off did me right! Peeked under the towel (yes... I cover the display, & woman rarely line up for the treadmills at my gym) and I'd ran 5. I've decided to stick to the training plan, it must be important right? Went a little over....what a rebel, huh? ;)

Had to get out of there early and get into Beverly Hills by 9. Traffic was HORRIBLE (1 1/2 hours to go about 38 miles!). Long day at work but everything seemed a little bit better. No, a lot better. I know I need this exercise thing in my life. It's my way of life and it's not to be negotiated. It feeds me spiritually, mentally and physically. Having missed a few days brings me to a place of gratitude......life is good.
