At least for today, running is better than chocolate!

After five days of being stuck inside because of the cold, this afternoon was sunny and 55 degrees so I was able to run again! Even though it had been less than a week since my last outdoor run, it felt so good to get out in the sun and to move. I couldn't get enough so I kept running and running, and when I was too tired we started walking, and when we were bored we called a neighbor to join us. Running is such an important part of my life- I feel so strong and happy and free when i'm out there and such a feeling of accomplishment after I'm done. I'm grateful for a healthy body and for the warm, pretty summer months when I can go outside every day. Winter always helps me to appreciate the perfect days even more. Hopefully the thought of another running season will get me thru the next several months...
