2012 so far I love you!

 I could seriously give 2012 a hug for the nice weather yesterday.  Fifty some degrees!  I was so worried I would get stuck at work for a long day and not be able to get in a run, but fate was on my side and I got off early enough for a 3.9 mile run.  I know, I know, where is the other .10 miles to make it an even 4.  I got distracted by my kids and never got it done! 

Aww come here 2012 and give me a hug. Really

 and as you can see I got to take my new Lululemon running skirt out for a test run finally :)  It is so exhilirating to get to run with bare legs after so many months of tights.  Since I was only ruunning nearly 4 miles I decided to push the pace a little.  I started slow and ran the last threeish miles in 7:40, 7:30 and 7:20 pace.  I was feeling it when I was done, but in such a good way!

This about sums it up for me.

 Funny to think that when I lived in town I went to the gym more than I ran outside.  I love running so much more now that I am never on a treadmill. It is supposed to be super nice out again today, so I am crossing my fingers I will have time for a short run after work again.

So hard to not run when it is this nice out, torture really. Last January was so awful there were so few days it was even halfway decent outside to get in a run and I know I never ran in a skirt or shorts last January.  I remember talking about it with a co-worker.

I love this skirt btw.  I wasn't sure if I would with all the ruffles. It just feels fun, girly, and strangely FAST to run in. It has a boatload of great pockets on it too.  YAY!

One of my goals this year is to keep running clothes in my car so that when I do get off work early, I can change into them after work.  This way I don't have to go into the house and get distracted by things, like my computer and then not get in a run or not get as long of a run as I could have.

Tell me something great about your day yesterday, or today.  Something great that makes you think 2012 will be a great year.
