Running Mama.

This Resolution Mama is back on the trails.  I have always been a runner,and loved the feeling of the pavement and my thoughts.  (It's not for everyone.)  But after having the Bulldozer, I slowed my mileage, made excuses, and dwindled to just teaching bootcamps and running 1-3 miles a few days a week, blaming it on "pushing stroller" or "having Matilda (the 85lb weimeriner) with me"

Well, I am done with excuses. Get your rear off the couch/floor/bed/chair and GO. You CAN do it.  Start slow, start fast, just start.

I am back on the trails. I have both the double stroller and dog in tow.  We look like circus, and get honked at (or waved at) daily.  I am up to 6.2 miles and just registered for a 15K race in 2 weeks. I run in the drizzling rain, the cold, the wind... I love the feel of splashing in the puddles as I pass them.  Morning, mid-day, it doesn't matter.  Little Red Bird likes to sing ("La, La, La" - not an actual song) at the top of her lungs through 1/2 the run... until she falls asleep or becomes dazed by the beauty of the marsh.  The Bulldozer is happy as long as I am running.  Matilda is all-around a better dog when we run.

All-in-all, along with bootcamp, running makes me happy :)    What's your excuse? It's not good enough (99.9% of the time anyway)  -- Get up. Get active. Set those endorphins free!
