I don't remember ever being more comfortable and cozy and not wanting to get out of bed than I was this morning. Getting out of bed and going running almost equated to me drinking acid on my level of desire. I did not want to do it! But I did and partly because I am surrounded by people who love me, believe in me and believe in my dreams. People who push me, sometimes literally push me to go run. People who give me items to support my running. People who pay for my race entry fees because they love me so much and know it is my desire and dream and passion. I am so thankful for my friends and loved ones.
So I got out of bed and went running on a freezing cold, frigid morning. The temperature seems to just keep dropping!! My body was tired, my legs were tired and I hadn't had my coffee. I had nothing of substance to eat so I stuffed a Cliff bar in my mouth and drank a swig of water and just hoped for the best. I thought that perhaps I wouldn't make the six miles. Perhaps I would stop at three. I did get all 6 put in though and I was happy for it when I was done. I was freezing. My tears were icing on my eyes. I felt like I was going slow enough to walk. I had to stop and walk quite a few times because my body was so tired. I ran in a different part of town that has great GPS signal and so I did get to listen to music my entire run and track my distance without my battery completely draining. That was a plus. I wanted to see where I was a couple of times throughout the run and taking my gloves off for even one second was excruciatingly cold!!
The rest of the day was fantastic! Best day in a really long time for sure.
