Today I continued my running regime. Yesterday I went on a short run, which was around 30 minutes. I tried to make it thirty, but ended up with about 27 or so. Today though, I ran about 5.7 miles. Five of those miles were with my awesome friend Leah (a freshman here at BU). We met up at Marsh Chapel and ran along the Charles River. We both talked about how we want to get back into running more, and so it was nice to push each other. I realized on this run that I am not as fast as I used to be, and I am certainly not in the best shape.

Today might have also been hard because I had a gym class in the morning. I made sure to eat something for breakfast after that so I wouldn't pass out on the run. I am a little exhausted and should probably drink a lot more water than I have been. I can tell you though, that I am sore right now, which means I will definitely be sore tomorrow.

I feel really good right now. I am back into running, which is very beneficial to every part of my life. It was interesting running with a friend because I usually go alone. Leah is a great runner and we seemed to be able to run with each other without the worry of holding one another back.

I hope to keep this up. I think that I haven't been as happy lately because I haven't been running and keeping up my health. It makes sense. If I keep up what I have started though, I will be able to lose some weight, feel better physically and mentally, and find some more answers to life. After all I am a runaway girl who discovers life wherever I go/end up. Sometimes you don't need a specific idea, you just have to run!

I'll try to keep a good running log (hello motivation!) and update it on each blog post.

"A Change Is Gonna Come"

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up to date with any of my blogs. I do want to share something with you though. Gavin Degraw sings this song (A Change is Gonna Come) and I think it's amazing. It's originally done by Sam Cooke.

Running isn't just about physically moving your legs. There is more to it. When you are feeling down, don't worry. Change is coming. And you probably shouldn't run away from that change, but embrace it. Run with the change.

"And just like the river, I've been running ever since".
