I had my first run in about 11 months… My mother’s day gift was time to do whatever I wanted – and that was a run. There was something symbolic about taking my first run on the day America celebrates its mothers. I did not go far – a mere 3.5 mile loop – but it felt great to be back out there. I sucked wind – and even stopped for two – one minute walk breaks. But – I continued onward.
I revamped my iPod with new songs – replaced my old Ironman training songs (angsty) with new bright, hopeful songs. One that I really like (and hate to admit) is Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb”. It always comes on as I start the ascent on the biggest hill in my running loop. I refuse to walk that hill as long as that song is on….
Since Mother’s Day I’ve run twice – and my Better Half started running again as well. We’re supporting each other as we get back in the running shoes.
Now only if our Little Guy understood how to nap during the day…..he’s just so excited to participate in life – he never wants to sleep during the day…..
Happy Little Man
So good to hear from you, girl. Love the symbolism of your first run on Mother’s Day, too.
Your Little Man is very handsome – I love that he’s so full of life – like his mother!
