A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force
I had fervently been itching for a serious workout. I have been a bit harried lately with different stressors and, unfortunately, probably taking out that frustration on the least deserving of my friends. While I could probably call them poor suckers and keep pouring on the pain, I decided that'd be a quick trip to the nobody-loves-me station. Therefore the best antidote seemed to me to get my booty in the gym and sweat out all my pent-up energies.
Working longer hours, getting up earlier than farmers and feeling restrained for fear of injury are all factors that can lead to a stifling of positivity and an increase in negativity. I guess I was being acted upon by outside forces (or maybe that was just my excuse).
That being that, I ended up at the gym yesterday after about a 10 hr work day but still feeling pretty energized for a vigorous workout. I ran 5 miles. Although, I did alternate those miles with weights and stretching and abs. I felt strong and invigorated after all my upper body exercises. I felt exhausted but in a totally refreshing way after my lower body circuit. My core was burning. The sweat was flying. It was marvelous!
Afterwards, I iced my hip area.
Today I still feel good. Only about a month until Mexico! This half marathon might actually happen! I'll see an old friend tonight!
A body in motion... I need to stay that way.

"You go Girlfriend!" Just practicing my "Girltalk..." And By the way, don't let yourself cool down too much between those miles!
