My Morning Shine…one foot in front of the other, one step at a time 4.4 Miles

I didn’t want to get up. Didn’t want to leave the comfort of my bed but I have something to prove to myself - have to do it. One pant leg at a time, one shoe lace tied at a time. As much as I didn’t want to it this morning I just went. After the warm up I still did not want to wake up.

But along the first mile of running I felt my spirit soar. One foot in front of the other one step at a time. When I made that turn to go back home 2.4 miles I had two choices - run it or walk it, I ran the whole way through.

I timed it Blaithin!! I did the run part 3.4 miles in 31 minutes! I used my music as a stopwatch. THIS IS MY FIRST TIMED OUTSIDE RUN AND I LOVED IT! The mile walk was my warm up and cool down. Whew, morning was the shi*!

I realize today that I’ve been depressed probably for the past month but didn’t recognize the signs till recently.

But as always, I refuse to allow anything to stop me from doing my thing. Got my run in, then Ashtanga yoga later in the morning.

Oh, this evening I’m having so much fun with the WII FIT!!!! Um, still can’t dance but I will sure try.

I won’t pretend and say I feel like myself just yet. But just like my run, one step at a time I will get there. Thanks to all who supported me yesterday. Meant alot.
