Be happy.

I did it! I made it to my monthly goal of 50 miles with a few days to spare!

Few things I learned on this run:

1. It's good to take a break

This is the first time I ran since Thursday. That's almost a week off. What was the same was the pace. What was different, though, was the ease of that same pace. I credit the few days off. 

2. I have to have fun. 

My really good friends know the two or three endeavors I have in my life right now. I'm starting to have the truth firmly embedded: I must be wholly and outrageously content with this moment in order to pursue my dreams in a healthy way. (Didja notice the italics AND the bold? Woo hoo!)

3. Spandex really helps. 

Seriously you guys.
