Today has been a good day so far.

I got up, read all the blogs I subscribe to, and immediately felt inspired.  That is perhaps what I love most about reading blogs; they inspire me to get off my butt and get moving!

I grabbed my Nike +iPod, which I hadn’t used since last March when I was in St. John, USVI.

I bought the Nike +iPod back in December 2008, right before I left to study abroad in London.  I figured it would be a great tool for me and it might even inspire me to run.  I forgot how much I like having it until today.  Usually I just bring a watch with me and go to Map My Run when I get home.  This made it a lot easier, even though I did check Map My Run anyway to see how accurate it was.

I ended up running just under 5 miles, and stopped at my grandma’s house halfway through to get some water and of course, say hello.  We sat and talked for a few minutes and then I headed home.

I refueled with some cold and creamy Greek yogurt, 1/2 sliced banana, and a bottle of water I had chilled overnight in the fridge.

Then I took dog #2 (Mickey) for a walk.

Now dog #1 (Oscar) and I are lounging around downstairs.  I should probably go outside and water my garden, but I’m going to put it off since I’m lazy and don’t do anything there’s a chance it will rain later.

Off to live the dream.
