So with a busy schedule comes the mundane items, laundry, breakfast, lunch, getting out the door on time and so on. As I checked out at the grocery store this morning, I had my daily salad in hand, without looking at the receipt the teller thanked me by name? I thanked the checker who’s name I don’t know though he wears a name tag and helps me every Monday thru Friday? My first thought why do I stand out? My second thought was if he knows me maybe I have gotten to the point that this is my habit? Have I made it to the point my body would just naturally plan on dropping the kids and driving me to the store before work for a salad? My point is now that I have been running for 12+ weeks my body is getting tuned with the regular Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday run and salad for lunch. I have found complete enjoyment in my run times, I take time to focus on my running or time to work a problem out in my head (those days I have a much slower run time but I think they are necessary) either way I have fit my run into my normal crazy schedule and it seems a salad as well.
Upon arrival at work I talked to one co-worker about the morning, another about the weather and another whom I rarely talk to said whatever healthy lifestyle change I had made, they thought it was working and to keep it up because I was motivating her to keep on track with her small healthy changes! What an honor to be the person unknowingly motivating someone else to do something good for them self.
This weeks run times change up a bit

Wednesday 4 miles
Thursday 3 miles
