Now that we're almost halfway through the month of November, I thought I'd update you on how I'm doing with my committment to overall health and well being and, of course, running.

Three words:

I feel fantastic!

Three more words:

I love running.

I never thought I would say that. But I do. I went out on Tuesday and had my best run yet.

I can't wait to see how good I can get.

I'm a pokey runner. I trudge along.

But I get there eventually.

And on Tuesday I ran longer in one stretch than I have in years.

I love being outside.

I love the independence of running - no gear, just you hauling your body along.

You start out feeling heavy and get lighter as you make your way.

I don't listen to music as I run

so I can measure my breathing.

Stick to a pattern to keep from feeling like my heart is going to explode.

I felt like a million bucks on Tuesday.

In addition to that - I've been eating better, sleeping better, feeling happier.

I feel like I think I should feel.

I'm proud of myself for sticking to it.

And finding a way to do it that works for me.

For once - I feel balanced.

Which is what I've been looking for all along.

(P.S. If anyone has tips for winter running. Send them along.

I'm a little scared of the winter running but I can't give up now!)
