I have a real love, hate relationship with running. For the past month it’s been more of a hate thing. I think I got so focused on all of the wrong reasons to run. And, I would feel so guilty if I missed a day of training or if I had a bad workout. Between all of the hills, the intervals, and pace runs, it just wasn’t fun for me anymore. I actually started dreading it.
I used to LOVE running. I would wake up super early in the mornings; I would run when it was snowing, I even joined a long distance running club at one point.
Yesterday I think I started loving it again. I found a new running path and went out there, just me and the road. No hills, no intervals, no watches monitoring my time. I didn’t even take my i-pod! And it was GREAT! I just ran until I didn’t feel like running anymore. My mind started to clear instead of staying so focused on what I was doing. Maybe that’s exactly what I needed.

I've always wanted to be a runner. It's just not me, though. Good for you for falling in love with it again. I have a love/hate relationship with my bike somtimes, but the most fun is when it's just a free ride to wherever the open road takes me.
keep it up sista!
