Sunday I was randomly super grumpy. It was one of those I don't like any of my clothes, everything is stupid and I don't know why kind of days.
Enter: running.
I hit the basement for a few miles (and some sprints thrown in for fun) and felt about a million times better after I was finished. Isn't it crazy how a good run can turn your whole day around?
On Monday we had an insane amount of rain. It down-poured all morning, which divided all the usual hyper-aggressive New York drivers into two groups: those who continued to drive as if everything was normal (way too fast), and those who drove 25 miles an hour on the freeway. It was fun.
The parking lot I was in flooded, so I had to fully submerge my shoes in several inches of water to get in my car. Also fun. I drove home barefoot.
My run was supposed to be an easy 4 miles, but I was feeling it, so I ended up running 5 instead. I also managed to remember to do some Post-Run Power Exercises - they're feeling easier, so that seems like a good sign.
Today I was psyched to run all morning and then when it was finally time, I dragged my feet. What is that about? I had an easy 3 miles with the Gilmore Girls and then Buddy and I hung out on the back deck while I cooled down.
What's for dinner at your house?
Mmmm your dinner looks so yummy! Lucky you to have a good fish source! I've had runs change my day, too. Not so much when I run at night but there have been plenty of weekend runs when I've completely done a 180, mood-wise. Your backyard is so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThe yard is very pretty in the spring time - I can't wait until we have our own yard instead of sharing one with all the neighbors (townhouse life).
Deleterunning can most definitely turn the day around! and yes I am jealous of that dinner!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good dinner! :) Thank goodness for running, right?
