4/11 Run baby run

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate to love hills. Anyone that knows this route knows that this is a killer hill route. Picture that and add a 14lb baby in a stroller. Goodness, that burn felt so good!  

Today was one of those days I needed to run. Just me, my baby girl and the road. Weather app said rain for the rest of the week through the weekend. I felt my allergies hitting me hard and no telling if they'd worsen. I needed to cease the day. Like any run. That first mile is the hardest. In my head I just said things like:
At least I'm out in the fresh air
I don't see any other mommas out here chasing their strollers
Feel the sun
Look at those big beautiful eyes looking up at you in wonder - be an example
Don't think about how far
All you have is this moment, this step and the next
Get to the water and that view will be your reward
Your doing it
You did it
