The first 6 a.m. run.
It was excellent. Rolled out of bed, got Mom up and was out of the house by 6:30. There's something so beautiful about running that early in the morning. I felt good. I felt powerful. I felt badass.
As I was running, I found that I didn't tire in the beginning like I had Friday. Rather, I was great until I hit the last two jog intervals. Then, I was pushing myself to finish. After stretching after cool down, I came home and jumped in the shower. I'm finding that I'm recovering better than I had Friday too. Part of it could be that today I was running in 64-70 degrees and Friday, it was 90. (I think this is the real reason I'm cooling down better.)
I'm also feeling better about working from home today. I have a better mindset and feeling better about myself. Although there was a snag in the road which I'll make a post about later; the support. Some people were very shocked and in very much disbelief that I'm working toward a 5k. It kind of hurt. But, it just gives me more of a reason to keep on going and keep on being motivated.
