I Love Mondays!

I love Mondays… because it means I can run again. Rain or shine, Monday through Friday… I run 5km everday. I find it difficult on Saturday and Sunday to stay off the trails, but I know my body needs it to recover.

Running has become such an important part of my day, it’s surprising how much I miss it on the weekends. Today is a long weekend… “old me” would say “well technically it is still the weekend”… but “new me” doesn’t make excuses like that… plus I would feel like I’m punishing myself by not treating myself to a run. When did I get to this point? Maybe 6 months into running… but it wasn’t that way in the beginning.

One thing I really enjoy about holiday running is I usually won’t have to go on my own because people aren’t working… having running partners today was just an added bonus to the fresh autumn air and runners high!
