Mama Goes Masters Virtual Race

I ran 4 miles today in honor of MCM Mama turning 40.

There were so many reasons why I didn’t want to:

I was tired
I had a cold/cough
I had to go grocery shopping (the cupboards were bare)
They had just tarred my road (& the smell was nauseating)
I hadn’t run in EIGHT days

But it was MCM Mama’s 40th birthday so I did it.

I got home from work and it had rained off and on all week and was very humid yet not too warm. I held my nose as I ran on the freshly tarred road. For the first 2 miles, I had a pain in my side. I tried to breathe deeper and slow down. Eventually it went away. I can’t say that this run was painless. I walked often but when I was done. I was glad to be back!!!
