Both yesterday and today were melancholy days. Those type of days where you don't want to do anything but stay in bed, read a book, and drink some ice coffee (i have to emphases the ice because I dislike warm drinks). Running wasn't really the goal for the day but good thing I am not governed by my feelings alone. Thank God that human beings have brains that when my emotions tell me one thing I can fall back on the frontal lobe of my brain that tells me to stick to my running regime.
Before I could give myself enough time to think about whether I wanted to run or stay in bed, I quickly maneuvered towards my running gear. Already dressed for a run I had no choice but to walk out the door and take a short run. It feels good to be part of the 5% population who could run a mile non-stop, according to Runner's World Magazine.
As I ran non-stop down a hill I caught a glimpse of three other runners and a biker. The first runner was a young teen dressed in her bright neon green socks and New Balance gear. The other two were a couple who ran side by side in a synchronized paste. Then there was the biker, an older gentle men that looked like he was in his late 30s or early 40s. Taking a look at all these individuals I was reminded how runners/bikers come in all different shapes, sizes, genders, and ages. Conclusion, there are no excuses for not hitting the road for a good workout so get out there and do it, you'll be glad you did!
