Some days are just easier than others...

The first real day of the challenge was not a challenge, it was a treat.  It was a little rainy and very grey, but there are many days that you have to make your own sunshine and running usually helps me do that.  I got to enjoy the company of Chris and though he says running never gets easier for him, you would certainly never know it.  My photo of the day is him running just a little ahead of me.  He's always a few steps ahead of me. :)  We ran an easy 3 miles and I expect the real challenge to begin when I head back to work tomorrow and struggle with finding enough daylight each day.

While running a 5k last week, a third grade girl, on my Girls on the Run team said to me, "I wonder when I'll be able to run without thinking about it, Ms. Monmaney?"  I'm not sure that I've ever been able to run without thinking about it, but sometimes all of the other thoughts drown out the the thought of putting one foot in front of the other.

Until tomorrow...
