Here comes the Sun!


Sunshine is like hitting my recharge button.
There is nothing that picks up my mood like a little sun.
I smile brighter.
I eat healthier.
I want to get outside to run/bike.
I am happier.
I am more relaxed.
The list goes on...

I headed out for a 7 miler at 10am, and saw this amazing sight on my way home

The run went fairly well.
I stopped a few times to stretch, the knee got a little achy. Overall, it was amazing to get out in the sun and get moving.

Look at that post run glow!

After a quick rinse off, I headed to the pool for a total immersion lesson. We worked on arm recovery & tempo pacing. I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of things more, especially since I've been spending more time in the pool practicing. We also talked about making workout plans instead of just going to the pool to swim, which is exactly what I have been doing, whoops!

I spent the afternoon shopping fueled on green smoothie.
Wait. till. you see. my big purchase.

Do you love the sunshine?
What does a little sun motivate you to do?

The day was incredible yesterday. Glad you got a good run in. I didn't run, but the sunshine motivated me to take my son on our first hike of 2012, up to the top of Mt. Norwottuck. It was gorgeous.

Where I live it is sunny most of the time, but on those days when it's not, I definitely notice a difference in my mood. I think I must be solar-powered.

YES! I love the sunshine and it totally picks me up! It is 78 and sunny here today! I can't wait to get out and run. The winter months are so long and annoying. I KNOW the sun always gets me moving and motivated to make healthy choices again!

LOVE the sunshine, especially right now where the humidity is still pretty low! It's fun to drive home from work and to see so many people working out and having fun!
