Got 4.31 miles in this morning.
Some may think it is nuts to get up at 6:30 on a Sunday morning to run.
It is.
Until I can get over the feeling of not wanting to run in front of lots of people- it is what it is!
I absolutely loved this morning.
I ran through our little town and then back along the river. I have been down by the river because that is where the Fest for our town is each year... but running there this morning was awesome. It is gorgeous, peaceful and a change of scenary from my runs this last month and a half...
I did not take any pictures (cause- well- I was running)...
But after my run- when I was cooling down... I took some pictures for you to enjoy...
I spend my entire run dodging these two creatures... the snails and slugs are everywhere!! It doesnt help that it rains nearly everyday... so they come out of the fields in force!! It is kind of nice though cause it distracts me from how long/far I have been running- I am so busy trying to avoid coming home with a snail shell stuck in my shoe!
Here I am coming back into my town... that is my neighborhood right there. You can see the church tower to the left... and up on the hill you can see what remains of a castle tower... I love my town.
My iPhone seems to want to overexpose some of these pics...
Here is my smiling (and red & sweaty) face after my run this morning!! Self portraits are tough with an iPhone!! lol*I know it means nothing really- but know what is motivating... coming home from a run and taking a shower... then weighing myself. I saw a number on the scale that I have not seen in close to 5 years.... Just seeing that number makes it all worth it!!

Running is one of my most favorite things now, before this year if you mentioned running to me I would have laughed at ya but now I looking forward to it every day. Way to go on your run, sounds like a great morning. It took me a while to get over the whole running while others were driving by but I got tired of counting how many times I was going around the track. Its really not all that bad, they look as they pass you and then go on about there own day. keep it up and GOOD LUCK you can do it!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!! It is amazing how your world changes... I literally need to run in the morning to feel like a better person during the day!! haha
For me- I hate running in front of others cause I am SUPER large chested... thank you two kiddos:) Even with my $60 sports bra- I feel embarrassed running in front of others... but it is getting better:)
Ya, I can see why you'd want to dodge those slimy critters, and ya, I do thinks it's something else to get up Sunday morning to run, but still, good for you for having such dedication! I love the self-portrait! The sign of a true blogger is someone who never leaves the house without something to take pictures with!
