Day 31 - 6.5 miles

"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try." - Unknown

Miles Ran: 95.3 Dollars Raised: $526.20

Today's run felt pretty good for the most part! We were saying the other week at the last training how sometimes the hardest part of running is getting your butt off the couch and getting out the door. So today it helped because, 1) I wore my running gear to basketball practice, and 2) I got a text from Katharine as I was leaving practice seeing if I wanted to go for a run. It really does help!

We ended up doing 6 1/2 miles, which turned out to be much better than the 4 I had planned because I have a really busy day on Thursday, and it was going to be hard to squeeze a 5-miler in. At one point it was funny--these 3 guys who the two of us always see separately outside of Herb Chambers, just stood there, staring at us as we approached, and refused to move! After we went completely out of our way to avoid their huddle, I gave a "THANKS GUYS!" back haha

I feel like I've actually reached the point where I look forward to a run. Maybe it's because I live alone. Or maybe it's because I sit in front of a computer for the majority of my day. It's not a daunting task that I HAVE to do anymore. It's a break in my day, and I feel lazy when I don't run (though I definitely need those breaks to get things done). It's become, dare I say, enjoyable :)
