Where I was and where I am....

This week was a awesome running week for sure. I hadn't logged in that many miles in a while. 34.8 to be exact;). But it was well worth it. I was really happy to meet Ashley who loves up the street in my subdivision. Her son and Emily play together so that's how we meet last summer lol. But in just these last couple of weeks we have really connected. She has been working out with a trainer and I run so why wouldn't us workout freaks not get along? Lol!! So she asked me to run the Cooper Bridge with her and another awesome chick Kristi on Saturday. I of course jumped at it. I don't usually run on Saturday, it is rest day but I NEEDED a change of scenery and I thought that it would be awesome. So out we went and holy cow it was beautiful. I was just amazing to see so many other runners, run with Ashley and just enjoy weather that wasn't a freezing 50 degree day. It was fun. A lot of people would ask why is running fun, well don't. No runner can really express to a non runner the feeling of achievement, the determination, the training and of course the running shoes, cute running shirts and shorts lol.. It's a high that I love every time I run. Today was a day of just running. It wasn't a day of pace, distance or time. I didn't take my earbuds, I just talked to Ashley and looked at my beautiful view. I really enjoyed just the quiet and view of running. It was a very different change of pace. I push myself, I listen to music, I plan routes, not today. It was amazing. I realized how far I have come, how far I can go and all the goals I CAN achieve. All I can say is thanks Ashley for asking me to go and can't wait to do it again!! I might have to change my blog title ;)
