Human Again?

I feel human again! For the first time in a long time I went for a run....by myself (no baby in tow). The sky was blue, the temperature was about 65 degrees and it felt good to run. The run was slow and only about 35 -40 minutes, but it still felt great!

I know what some of you are thinking. That's not very "fat burning," Marie! I know, I know. There won't be any great after burn, my metabolism was probably back down to resting within 30 minutes. My heart rate was below 100bpm in only a couple of minutes. You know what, though? It still felt great.

I love to run just to be outside. I love to run to burn off some steam. I love to run to break a sweat. I love to run to move my legs. I love to run Because I CAN!

It makes me feel human to run.

If you run, please tell me why you run. What motivates you? Please post your comments.

In good health,
MA

p.s. For strength building/maintenance I also did 4 sets back to back:
push-ups 20x
single leg squats 10x
