Great morning

I was able to get up early and go on a great run today.  (Thanks to my wonderful hubby - I'm not a morning person but I told him last night that I'd like to get up and run.   So inspite of my ornery face he got me out of bed.)  The morning was just beautiful - I watched the sun come up over the mountains, it wasn't cold, it wasn't hot, there wasn't a lot of traffic, and there were no loose dogs ;) .  It was the 1st sub 40 min. 5 mile run I've had so far this year  - YEA!  I have a very LONG way to go to get back to the pace I was at pre-Donavan, but it felt great to see the time on my watch today.  I just LOVE running - it's so freeing!!  I can dispell all of my stress, anger, anxieties, and worries if just for a little while.  I was able to run without pushing my little people today  - and I got back right when it was time for the big kids to get up for school.  I always feel so much better all day long after I've got in a good run.  I also rewarded myself with a ding-dong (without feeling guilty!!)  Maybe I'll wake up early tomorrow and go out again!!!
