Spring Break...Two weeks!!! Elated!!!!

This week has been pretty amazing. First Kenny-Jean was released from the hospital!! Hooray! Nick cam home on Wednesday, and it was so great to have him back home. He brought with him a list of foods he cannot eat because of the heart issue in his family jeans, so we sill be focusing on ubber-healthy eating. I have already started this five weeks ago when I stared running, so the transition shouldn't be that difficult.

So let's talk about yesterday's run. I told a co-worker I was going on a mile run and she wanted to join me. Around 6th period I noticed it was coming a blizzard outside and went to my friends classroom to tell her about and she said, "Why you don't want to go?" I said, "I am in if you are.." So on my scary drive home over the pass I was getting intimidated of the weather, and started to think of excuses to back out of the outdoor and go to the gym. Funny thing, she texted me around 4:45 (thirty minutes before our go time) and backed out. I was thinking I should go to the gym, but then a crazy fire of ambition wrapped my body and I was determined to give it go anyway. I hadn't ever run in the snow and was kind of excited, and exhilarated.

So I layered up, got out the ole gloves and hat and went for it. The first mile was brutal, the wind and snowflakes were whipping me in the face. As always the first mile is my killer, but once I get over the mile mark it clicks and running becomes FUN! Yes I said it, fun! The second mile I changed directions and noticed the sun tried poking through the clouds. I ran by a neighbors house and she was outside rooting me on! I couldn't stop to talk, but it was so great to be encouraged by such a great friend.

Then the last mile..it was so easy. I hit my stride, jamming out to tunes, and had the biggest grin from ear to ear. I love the feeling I get around 2.5 miles. I am addicted. Then instead of stopping at my 3 mile marker I continued all the way to my house, through my neighborhood. I couldn't believe it. What an awesome run. Plus when I looked at my time I had completed it in 39 minutes!! !3 minute miles. I am so pumped!! Can't wait for my run with Julie tomorrow. Another 3 miler, ten miles this week.
