So running was never my thing. It doesn't come naturally to me but I am fighting my way through to this race. Today was a little intimidating as our mileage has jumped up this week to 16m with a 6m run today. Well, I just finished and am feeling AWESOME! I actually felt like I could do another mile or two if I had to. I'm feeling more confident than ever and this just made my day!

I never understood what people were talking about with a runner's high but I think I get it now and that this is what it feels like. Empowering, confident, and happy!

Happy runs to all of you this weekend!!

Danielle

    Yeah for you! Congrats on your running and your runner's high.

    By the way - I peaked at your profile and saw you are a mother - check out this website blog by two co-authors of "Run Like a Mother" and "Train Like a Mother". www.anothermotherrunner.com. They also have a facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/AnotherMotherRunner) and are very helpful! Love them!!
