back in the game


After 3 months away from running and the gym, I am finally back in the game! My little hiatus caused a major change in my body and I gained about 8 pounds. Skinny jeans no more, my friends. Last night I was in a nasty mood due to traffic and other irritations. An hour on the treadmill (I am slow- this is 5 miles for me) and my aggression was all gone. Thank goodness, because I was feeling volatile before the run and someone could have gotten hurt. I get such a high from a good run and crave the impact. I also crave the bad dance music that I play when I run. All my faves played during my little trip to the gym last night (Madonna, Justin, Timberland). I think I will have to pound the pavement again tonight. Oh, and they gave me a free gym back when I renewed my membership at the Y! Guess they owed me for the hundreds I spent during those months I was on gym-vacay. Hope I can fit into my clothes again soon.

Ooooo... yes, the impact! I couldn't quite put my finger on it but there is something so gratifying about the impact of running.

ps. Cute shoes!!
