3/19/12~ I can not tell a lie

To anyone:
I have been working alot of extra hours at work (last week) bcs of call ins and one leaving, so I did not get to spend time with Ava since Thursday last week.  Remember how i told you I felt this awesome "runners high" after my work outs and I wasn't going to ask myself "When will this end"  Well at 5:05pm on Friday I left and quick as a flash!  It was a dramatic change.  So I decided to rest for the week-end. 

Well I did not have the desire to get with Ava yesterday or today (Hey I Can not tell a lie).  Yet as i scrolled thru my Facebook posts I see again my girl Marta who posted about her work out calling it "Short and sweet"  and those 3 little words resonated with me.  Short and sweet...I mean for me at this stage what really is 35 mins out of my night? And sweet is the feeling of sweating out all my toxic thoughts and worries as well as the high of running!  That would be enough to last me till tomorrows date!  lol and if not then I will read my Friends FB posts again and perhaps Shannon R., Marta, Stacie or Shanon J will post something and it will encourage me to get up and try again!  I mean hey my friends have gotten me this far!  I love ya for it girls!

I have to be honest with myself.  There will be days i am either sick or unable to walk/run with Ava and then there will be days that i just don't want too!  Those are the days i need to work on myself about.  I will not feel bad about the other days.  I need to do what is healthy and right for ME.  For now I will work on that.  Later on to bigger fish!  Till then...

Keep runnin
