The day didn't start out so great, I forgot my work badge sitting on my dresser, work was slow and I just didn't feel great. I went to the gym per usual at lunchtime and the girls really kept me motivated to keep pushing! So thankful for them! :)
On my drive home I still hadn't decided whether I was going to head out for my 4 miler or not. My hip hurt, my head hurt and I kept telling myself... well it's not like I didn't already work out today!
But of course I'm a sucker for beautiful weather and BOY was it BEAUTIFUL yesterday! With the whole daylight savings, it was still pretty sunny out, so I laced up and headed out figuring if my hip hurt I could always turn around.
But I kid you not, I was GLOWING. I couldn't stop SMILING. Just such a happy run. Nothing hurt. I found my rhythm almost instantly (usually it takes a good mile before I'm cruisin' in a happy place) and EVERY song that came on my ipod was a happy song.

I'm not sure if it was the sun shining, the 50 degree weather or the fact that I DIDN'T have to wear a reflective vest and headlamp for an evening run. Either way, I was happy.

It's amazing how one simple short 4 miler can make all the difference. A day that started out blahh ended amazing. I'm hopeful I can find my happy place again tonight...
What's your happy place?
