Run it out

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.  ~Sally Field

Starting yesterday, for 21 days I am not drinking.  I decided this yesterday morning, after the Brewfest.  I’m saying goodbye to it all.  Goodbye to my vodka, soda with a lime, goodbye blue moon, goodbye Diet Jack, goodbye my dear friends, I will be back.  Only more svelte and with more will power to “Just Say NO”. 

I just got back from my evening run.  Oh how I love a run after a Springtime rain.  I love running in the rain, but this way, I can stay out longer.  I am following Rachaels example, and doing these runs, only throwing in some extra sprints. And so far, so good.  I like what I see…people say—“Do you weigh yourself?” And I say “Occasionally, and the numbers are my friends, and I’m not a slave to them, instead…if I can stand in front of the mirror while I am getting ready for my day,and pick out less than 5 things that I’d like to change, I think I’m doing good”. I only have 3 things I see that bug me. 

So, after work, I ran, and I kept running until I had no run left.  And it felt amazing.  Here is to 12 ab exercises in 24 minutes.  YAY!
