First run...sucked, but the next one will be better.

Today's run was almost as horrible as I expected it to be.  So why did I go running if I knew it was going to be horrible?  

1.  I will sleep better.  Since not running sleeping has not been going very well.

2.  I feel better.  This is not magic, it just is what it is.

3.  It helps lower my stress levels.

4.  It helps relieve my allergies.  (this may sound odd since I run outside, but I swear it works for me.)

5.  Sweating makes me feel good.

6.  I want to be healthy

7.  I have a fit and hot husband and I want to keep up with him.

and the best of all...

8.  Only one run will suck this bad if I keep myself on track!

So after all of that I went out and sweat it out today! 

Here's a running tip.  This is a picture of my new running shoes.  I have issues with ankle stability, the sales associate gave me this little tip for tying my shoes.  It was an easy adjustment and makes a huge difference in my runs.  Most, if not all of the people in the running specific stores are actually runners, and they are always eager to share upcoming runs, new products, and running tips with you.  All you have to do is ask! 

Please share any tips or motivation to get moving that you have picked up along the way with your running journey.  I am always interested in your feedback!
