I could have easily stayed in bed all day watching Netflix. It was one of those mornings. I slept in until 9 a.m. That’s a big deal in my world. It’s nice to have nothing on your plate and you can just take the day as it comes.
Eventually I moved my lazy butt out of my bed after watching about 4 episodes of Orange is the New Black. Taking it easy was my sole goal for today. All week I run around like a crazy person for my job. I’m always putting on my happy face and using my nice voice. Sometimes it’s nice to unwind and turn off the rest of the world.

My peace is generally found among the trees and dirt trail. I pulled some clothes on and I went for a short run at Riverbend. This was the first time I ran in my trail shoes since my May ultra. Felt great. I love my trail shoes.
I really needed that time in the woods. Completely alone. Perfect.
