3.5 and It Was Fine

Today Mark and I went to the gym. It was very important to me that I run today. Since I started running, it has been a way for me to cope with the good and the bad. My professional life is running related, so there was a blur in there for me. A few weeks ago I did not get a promotion I had wanted at the store, so I have been down for the last couple weeks. It affected how I was with my running.

Mark and I sat down with the calendar tonight and charted my running for the next couple weeks. The goal is that the run will be a priority, and I will use it to really work through some issues in my head. I have missed that, and I need to get back to running as a part of my routine.

The 3.5 miles on the treadmill went well. I listened to some wonderful Celtic Christmas music. It made the run a bit more enjoyable. My thoughts during the run turned to my career, and what I want to accomplish. Nothing was settled in my mind today, but that's ok. It didn't need to be. I just wanted to start the process.
