First Day's Workout

I've been feeling quite down lately...nothing serious, just those pre-Spring blues. I'm usually cooped up inside doing schoolwork or working and haven't done anything super fun. Today at work, when I was feeling all melancholy, I decided that I wanted to go for a run once I finished at work. I used to be very good at working out and playing sports several times a week. I'm naturally petite and have a fast metabolism; weight has never been a big issue for me. After moving away to college, I gained 10 pounds, which isn't that big of a deal, but it points toward the fact that I don't eat as well as I used to and that I don't keep fit like before. So after work, I changed into my workout clothes, turned on my iPod, and headed out the door. I ran all the way around campus...I'm guessing about a mile and half. Once I finished running, I laid out on a big grass lawn to stretch and dance and just have some plain 'ol fun in the fresh air. The weather was amazing and I could hear the birds chirping. My body burned in pain, but it was a good pain :p I haven't felt that good in a while. It was so freeing! I loved it so much that I plan on working out outside every other day, weather and schedule permitting. I also want to pick up dance again as a form of exercise. I am so glad that God blessed me with that today! :)
