I am feeling rather pleased with myself having just completed a 6.2 mile run this morning, (IN THE RAIN!). Up until now id have called myself a bit of a fair weather runner, choosing fresh sunny mornings to run and opting out in favour of indoor activities when dark clouds are in sight! And the best thing was I loved it! The rain showers felt refreshing and gave me something else to think about other then how far I had to run. I felt oddly free charging along through puddles, soaking wet as I overtook people with umbrellas cowering for shelter as I didnt care I just wanted to focus on running 6 miles. Days like this remind me why im doing it, for myself for my mental and physical health!
Dont mean to harp on in this irritatingly smug narrative but I just want to mention the lunch I just devoured on my return... Trying to be consistent with my healthy day but aware that I needed to refuel those hard worked muscles I made a quinoa, sweet potato and feta cheese salad with a honey and mustard dressing, filling my plate to the max with salad leaves and tomatoes and cucumber then adding the rest of the ingredients; it looked super pretty and tasted delicious and I am so full up now. There we go smug rant over. I have the day off today and planning on spending the rest of it flicking through magazines and drinking tea..mmm
