It's been almost a week since my last run which is far too long. Not only because I fear that the non-running days will quickly pile up onto each other but also because running has become the best way to regulate my mood. Last night I could already feel myself becoming testy with the kids, short with my husband and I knew that I has to get out there and soon.
This week has been full of family obligations that have turned out scheduled up on its head, along with last-week-before-vacation craziness at work where I'm scrambling to get everything ready which has made morning runs more difficult. All excuses? Well, some what...some more legitimate than others. Yes, I did need to take the dog to the vet. No, I did not need to stay up late and watch Law & Order.
Regardless, this morning I got up and hit the road. Nice, easy run and I rewarded my self for being good by trying a new route on the other side of the lake. Much to my surprise, the turnaround point came much sooner that I expected.
The real reward of a 3 mile jaunt? An improved mood. I'm sure my family thanks me.
