When I woke up this am, I was in a funk, as I peered out the window, only to see endless raindrops. I was proud of myself for tackling five miles yesterday, knowing the weather forecast for today & thinking a run would not happen. And then around 2:45pm, a little less than an hr before my kids would be arriving at their bus stop, the rain ceased & the sun came out. I moved into action fast & threw on running clothes, shoes, found my tunes, Garmin, & ran...Fast! Lots of mud puddles were everywhere & I had to dunk my head several times to avoid a bath from the wet leaves on the trees but I enjoyed every minute of this solitude that I had managed to steal, just for me. And talk about perfect timing! I finished my run, just as the school bus pulled up and greeted my kids with a smile! :)
