Keeping Busy

---

Now that things have started to warm up it has really been testing my motivation to run. I've been working outside trying to get some yard work done, and I feel like I have been on my feet non stop. The last thing that I have been wanting to do is run, but that hasn't kept me from doing it! It may not be on the right day, but it is getting done!

I can't believe how far I have come in the past few weeks. after the vacation, I was having such a hard time running. Luckily things have changed. For the past 2 weeks I have been running at least 2 and 1/4 miles, and the past 2 runs I have run 2 and 1/2 miles. I am slowly getting closer and closer to that my 5k goal. Hopefully by the end of this week I will be running 3 miles!

One thing that happened this week that really gave me a boost in confidence is that I saw some people for the first time since I have started training for my marathon. One of Mandy's cousins even made the comment that I look amazing and look like a completely different person! That really made me feel good! It really is amazing how far I have come, and how awesome I have been feeling. Before I had started running I would probably have a migraine at least once or twice a week. Right now I seriously cannot remember the last time that I had one. The same thing goes with heart burn, I haven't had it in forever!

Oh, and my theory about the music is a fact at least in my case... For those of you that have no Idea what I am talking about please refer to this post. I really think the music change has really helped my running. I am more relaxed and have a clear mind while running. Has anyone had the same experience? Or do you prefer the songs that you can run to?
