...the end of another weekend...
...well, i must say this summer has started out well. i'm finally getting all my finances back in order, gonna take a quick little jaunt out to Chi-town next week, getting some new clothes, i'm still running, i have a great great girlfriend, and i may be getting a newer car soon...so possibilities and good times all around.
yesterday, i went clothes shopping. i specifically asked renee to help me shop. it was a BLAST! i had a great time! i went into stores i've never even looked twice at and ended up with some really really nice clothes and new looks, nothing drastic, but rather a couple steps in a new direction. i like it. gonna do some more next weekend up at the outlet mall near Howell...i'm looking forward to that!
today really may have been a turning point in my running. i had a great long run. i think my 4.5 mile course is now going to be my standard. as i was running it today, it just felt right. i don't know if it's cause i did NOTHING else today except sleep and nurse a horrid headache most of the afternoon. i wasn't even sure if i was going to make any kind of run. but around 5:30ish the headache finally went away, and i set a 6:30 time-frame to start stretching...my body didn't really want to stretch...at all...period...so i did what i could and said f it and went out. from the first step i new it was gonna be a good run. and it was. when i got back, i wasn't winded. i didn't feel beat-down and tired. i felt good. very good, in fact. energized is more the word. and i love my new running clothes...i need more...especially shorts.
so, i hope my future runs continue with the same drive. it felt nice to feel like i'm accomplishing things, even if it's only once every so often. my next few posts will probably be me cursing my lack of ability to make it three blocks, and even if that's the case...i have today...and it was awesome!
