Fun run in the sun

This week has been.... "meh" (please note: I highly dislike using made up words), but really? It was the perfect word for how I'm feeling.

Nothing has been going wrong or badly.... I just feel like I've been doing the same old same old for a long time now.  All winter (and holy hell, has this winter not lasted forever?!?!)

My workouts are all the same 4 days crossfit, 1 run, 1 yoga class a week (dealing with some ankle/knee pain this week, which ended in me modifying my Monday's workout ),

Eating is the same (80/20) BUT (and this is a wonderful BUT) without stressing... worrying... thinking too hard about it... not beating myself up... it's a great feeling.

 I've been acting for my boss for too long now (please come back, I'm drowning!). 

Wednesdays are my "get back into running" days. I've started running ONE day a week, at this point it's a short run, maybe 3 km?

I meet a girl I met at my gym downstairs in my office (which is big for me, we didn't know each other that well but, when I found out she worked at the same place I do, I said "hey we should run together" which is pretty out of character for me)

So it's Wednesday (and it's been another freaking freezing week here) and all morning I was thinking "I wish I could just cancel"... 

..but then I got dressed, went downstairs, saw her smiling face and got outside and ran. The sun was shining down, we had a great conversation, I never felt like I had to stop to take a break (so we didn't!).  I know it wasn't a long run... but I will keep reaping the rewards from that 20 minutes run all day long.

(until, as my friend says, Kyle wipes that grin off our faces at crossfit tonight!)
