Day Nine

In Which our Heroine Does, Well, Pretty Well

What a lovely day! The sun finally graced us with its presence and the temperature climbed up into the upper 40s. There was no excuse not to run. Children roams the sidewalks on their way home from school, so I ran most of the way in the street. For some reason I feel self-conscious around them, even though I know they probably don't notice me at all, another mama running in the street listening to music. At least half of them are looking down at their own electronic devices, tapping at their iphone screens, updating their facebook statuses: Walking home.

I walked/ran about 2 miles today, taking a much longer route than normal. My running portions are still not terribly long, but I do seem to be making improvement. Today I ignored the couch to 5K plan and just ran until I felt tired and walked until I felt like running again. I'm hopeful that today's run will quell some of the stress I've been feeling lately.
