Skipping a Run Feels Bad

By Nicoleao @momfever

It’s way too hot.

I even felt I had to skip my Tuesday run, because I didn’t think it was wise. But then my whole day felt out of whack! Like I’d gotten out of the wrong side of the bed. I’ve gotten so used to my early morning runs, my whole day feels out of balance if I skip it.

So Wednesday I got up extra early, to beat the sun and the heat to it. I didn’t run far, and I didn’t run long, but at least I ran. And when I got home all was well again! And as I’m sitting here, typing this post, I do so knowing I’ve already gotten my run in. One of the other perks of my morning run, is that is makes my cup of coffee taste way better!

I’ve come a long way. From thinking runners were crazy, to actually feeling worse off if I don’t run.

How does skipping a run make you feel?
