Running makes Everything Better....

Last night, after a long day at work, I was a time bomb waiting to go off. I was having one of those days where I just wanted to have an argument or pick a fight. Ever had one of those? I like to think I can at least blame it on raging hormones right now, but I'm not sure how much longer that excuse is going to work for. After some nagging and complaining, I still didn't feel satisfied. Johnny was off to work for the night, and I was left with my adorable little man (who I couldn't possibly be irritated by) and the anticipation of my evening run. My in-laws were kind enough to babysit for a few hours so I didn't have to cancel my running plans. Johnny switched his schedule around last minute to accommodate or weekend travels better. So I headed out around 7:45 with my good friend and running buddy Jill. We accomplish a good 5.25 miles, not too shabby and caught up on some well needed girl talk. I felt revived and somewhat calm after that. All the worries and stress went away. It's amazing how a simple run can make everything better. Such a stress reliever.

On another 'running note' I think I've picked my post pregnancy race to motivate myself. It's kind of boring, but I really would like to go back and do the Niagara Half Marathon again. I loved it the first time, but being that it was my first one I really didn't appreciate the course. It's flat and fast, and as long as there is not a head wind I think I might be able to accomplish my new goal. Half marathon - 1:45. It's a bit of a stretch, but I really feel I could do it.

So I am not even close to ready for our weekend camping trip. I am going grocery shopping tonight and will hopefully get everything packed up tonight. James will probably help me pack things into the boxes - super cute. We are going to Goderich, and I have my fingers crossed for nice weather!!! Well, better go, gotta look busy here at work!
