I RAN TODAY!

Yes, it's true! I ran today - totally against Doctor and physiotherapist orders but I wanted to live life on the edge. ;-) Sure it was more of a slow jog ...and it was on a treadmill in an air conditioned gym, but HEY, I RAN. I'm so happy I could do backflips! ...Well, maybe not backflips... I could do an awkward fall to the side.

I set out to just walk... maybe about 15 minutes. (Since I had already done 45 minutes on the bike followed by an hour of weights). After 10 minutes, I was getting antsy. I turned the speed up along with my music and it became a truly joyous event. All started to feel right in the world.

Every 5 minutes I would say to myself, "Ok, maybe another 5 minutes".  45 minutes was my maximum. Then it was 44 minutes and Skrillex came on and no one turns Bangarang off mid-song! Then it was Lady Gaga... then some Maroon 5...

Then I ended up going for another 15 minutes!

One hour and 5 miles later... Woohoo!

I'm absolutely beside myself with glee! The runner's high has returned! 

....Ok, Ok, I'm not going to lie - I was in some pain, but I stretched the heck out of my back after. I also put on some Biofreeze and took a Robaxacet, and I'm feeling not too shabby, now. Whatever pain I was in as a result of today's run, was completely worth it! I'm so happy! Hopefully tomorrow I won't be paying for it and hopefully, I can go again very soon! :-) Yay!
