With spring's arrival yesterday, i celebrated and ran my first 10K in a long while. I didn't set out to do it, but it just happened, which is why it was such a sweet victory! I mentioned, in this post, we were running with the Nike+ and after 20 runs so far, most of which have been short 5K runs, I can say this has been a fun way to motivate me to run again. Sam has loaded all my favorite "girl power" songs on my ipod and I'm enjoying running again.

Now I recall why I love it. It's the challenge of pushing yourself, or just enjoying the pace you're at. The choice to go hard or take it slow. The satisfaction of doing something that makes you feel good. If that is not running, I would encourage taking time to do things you love or used to love to do (when you had the time!) and make those things a priority. Make time for fun!
