The. Sun. Came. Out.
Hallelujah!
I missed my Monday morning run. I missed today because of a thousand concocted excuses that happened at 5:00 AM, but the overwhelming heaviness and exhausted feeling in my body makes me feel that I made the right choice. I can't decide whether I feel sluggish because I haven't had a run since last Friday or if I am sluggish because I'm trying to fight something off or my body just needs a break? Either way, I am going to attempt a nice, easy 5K on Friday and let my body rest, guilt-free until then. I find it gratifying that I know I can take this much time off and still bounce back into running pretty easily. I've developed a lot of confidence in my runs. And it doesn't hurt that this weekend I got a new pair of jeans that actually fits, in size six! My headspace is better about the whole thing, too. I'm not in the dark and questioning-my-deepest-motivations anymore. I'm just thankful to be healthy, athletic, strong, and have the ability to guilt-free snack on french fries and carbs :)
61 days until Disney World!
