Day 32: Choices

Yesterday, I got some new makeup and face wash at the mall. I usually avoid the mall, but I wanted to try this new product. I also had insomnia last night, woke up at three and never went back to sleep. 

This afternoon, my kids and hubby went to a friend's house and left me with some choices. I could go back to the mall to exchange one of the products I got yesterday, I could take a well-needed nap, or I could get today's mileage done. 

(Is it summer or winter?)

I chose to run because of those three choices it seemed like it would be the best for me in the end. A trip to the mall would just be aggravating. I can barely stand it once in a while, but twice in two days, no thanks. 

I chose to run because while a nap might feel good, some naps are too over-powering and I just end up feeling worse. 

I chose to run because even if I feel horrible while running, I always feel good afterwards. I only needed to do a recovery mile but I also chose to go just a little farther. I find whenever I make a choice to run or a choice to go fast or a choice to go far, I find I always feel better. 

And while I'm still tired and I still have to go to the mall at some point, for today, I made the right choice.
