I haven't run in months....I'm a cold-weather wuss...and not a treadmill girl. I've been looking sooo forward to spring and today was the day, baby. I'm off work, the high is 67, last night it rained, so it was a cool, wet, breezy morning. I have an iphone now and the Couch to 5k app is awesome. I loaded my songs, started the app and immediately I had a huge smile on my face. It was totally unexpected that I would feel so happy and I don't know if it was because of the perfect day or the fact that I'd lost 5 lbs. this week and I know I'm on my way back to my wardrobe and feeling GOOD. Everything is better when you look good, I don't care what anyone says. I started my warm-up to J-Lo's "Aint' it Funny", then broke into my run to "Can't Let You Go" by Fabolous. Every step I felt better, splashing through shallow puddles, seeing signs of spring w/neighbors fertilizing yards and watching birds fly overhead. It was the therapy I've been needing and I had the right songs w/just enough attitude :) The exciting part was passing by the pool and knowing the best is yet to come, not just the promise of warm days reading in the sun but being where I want to be mentally, professionally, emotionally and financially. Me, my Mizunos, polar watch, ipod and big hips got this ;)
