Pounding the Pavement at 6:00am. :)

I have started the beginning of what will hopefully be a good habit over the past week--exercise. :) I would now like to share my experience with you. I am the type of person who would generally only exercise if it was a choice between life or death. ;) However, as I have forced myself to get up and run every morning for close to an hour, I have found a little more balance in life. It is so wonderful to start my day out alone, or occasionally with my mom, in the cool, dewy air with no cares or things to worry about. It's just me and the road. I love the feeling of achievement after I walk into my house all sweaty and worn out--it's a beautiful thing. I also find time to think when I run. It is like my mental therapy session every morning from 6-7. It totally clears my mind, calms my emotions, and allows me to think rationally. I love it! Boring blog post? Maybe. I hope you are all inspired to run now, though. :)
