I Survived the End of the World

and my 5 mile run today! Thank God because it was almost the end for me! Crazy drivers I tell ya! I wore my very bright neon orange running jacket today and I was at a 4 way intersection, I looked at all the cars who were all stopped except for the one car slowly coming up to the stop sign. He waved me to go, so I thought but I guess he was just really into his conversation and hand movements with the other person in the car, and didn't even see me right in front of him as he took off! I jerked away from the car and I'm sure it scared the crap out of him but I continued on with my run!

I had exactly 50 minutes to run this morning after I dropped off the kids at school before I had to be back at my sons school at 9:50 to see him receive his Character Counts Citizenship award at the awards ceremony. I am one PROUD momma! 

SO my tip of the day is to squeeze a run in when you have just the perfect amount of time to do it in and it will push you even more! I finished my 5 miles in a little less than 45 minutes which gave me 5 minutes to pick up my 3 year old from my sister and head to the school! I got there just in time to see my baby receive his award. I ran fast and didn't slow down at all which I probably would have if I wasn't on a time crunch. Running is such a mental game. Well for me anyways, my mind always wants to stop before my body does. Mind over matter! it comes with the lifestyle!

Getting my runs and workouts in early in the day is my favorite and what I prefer. It sets the tone for my day and when you can fit it into a very busy day it feels extra awesome and you really feel like a bad ass!!! Even though you might show up to your childs school looking like a hot mess in your running gear! While all the other moms spent time curling their hair and putting their makeup on I was out killing those miles! But hey I'm not there to impress the other ladies I'm there for my boy! and looking like a HOT sweaty mess is way hotter anyways!

 Happy end of the world day, hope it was a great one ladies!!!
