Been...So...Busy...

I’ve been so busy this week I’ve barely had time to think let alone run, but I was really thankful for my run last night.

Yesterday I was crazy busy and work and super stressed. (A quick side note: I hate the term ASAP. Not everything can always be done ASAP. What does ASAP even mean? It’s too non-specific, too overused and it needs to DIE. Don’t ever say ASAP to me ever. Anywho…) When I got home last night, I was so happy that the weather was nice and I had been planning on going for a run. Nothing erases the stress of a busy work day like a good run. I put on running shoes, slapped in my head phones and headed out.

After a long hard day, I always start off thinking about all the stresses of the day, but somewhere along the way, it stops. You listen to the music. You concentrate on your breathing or your running form, and everything else goes away. I ran through Morningside Park, said “hello” to all the turtles in the pond, and ran home. I even finished with some cross training exercises and lots of good stretching.

By the time I got back to my apartment, I was relaxed and happy. Funny how a good run will do that to you. Now, back to the grind…
