Running In the Dark

I woke up this morning at 4 a.m.

It was still dark.

Very dark, in fact.

This is the earliest I have ever woke up in my life to work out.

Trust me, it probably won't happen again any time soon.

I had to get up early for my 3 mile run because my husband had to get to work early this morning.

Let me tell you that it was hard.

It would've been so easy to stay in bed.

My run went great!

I wrapped my knee really well, and I didn't really have any pain.

I'm currently icing it right now just in case it starts to swell again.

It looked great before my run.

It was in the low 80's when I went out for my outdoor run.

There was a slight breeze that gently kissed my sweaty face.

I loved it.

After not running for four days, I was reminded how good it feels to get your heart

racing and your muscles going.

I never thought I would ever feel that way about exercise.

Who knew it could feel so good?

I made a mistake yesterday and told you that I was going to work on arms.

It's supposed to happen today.

So today, I'm working on arms and core work.

I'm laying off leg work, since my knee is still healing.
