So today:
It was grey.
It was misty.

I forgot my running sweater.
I was wearing Halloween socks.
I was (am) hairy as a bear.
It was one of the best runs I've had in a while.
It's been the first run that I have been able to run since the show started, which has been a while so I've felt out of it. But I was excited. I was ready to run. I was....
woefully unprepared.
I only ran a mile which is horrid but for not moving for almost 3 weeks-it wasn't so bad. I did it in 14 minutes, which I hate...but once again, it wasn't so bad. I had my music.
I was so happy.
I have had reason to be stressed and it's been a while since running has been part of my schedule. And I missed it-oh goodness how I've missed it. It was like running into a old friend at a coffee shop. While running today I was lip-synching and dancing to my music (if any of my co-workers had any doubt of my sanity level...it was confirmed today). I was on a runner's high afterwards.
I felt like myself again.
See, Disney has a program called "Why I Run Disney" and they do videos of some of the runners that they feel are especially inspirational. I watch some and was wondering, why am I running this race (my age old question) and I realized that why I run is because in the craziness that is my life, when I run I finally feel like I can balance my life. I feel like I am pretty balanced (for the most part) as a person but when I run, the unnecessary stuff falls away. My worrying, anxiety, really anything weighing on me is gone. And I love that I have that outlet. I love that people enjoy me and that part of me. I love that I have something that is mine yet something so easy to share. I love being an athlete again.
I love actually being an Actress on the Run.

How about that for a hump day resolution?
Until next time, keep running strong!
