What a Difference a Day Makes...

My muscles are feeling much better today. I'm still a little sore, but nothing like yesterday.  Next time I will listen to that little voice in my head.  Anyway - lesson learned.

Today is absolutely beautiful outside... the sun is shining... the birds are singing... the kids in the neighbourhood are all out playing.  I ran today as well and felt so much better, my run did for my body and mind what it normally does - made me feel amazing!

When I got home I didn't feel like a soup or anything warm so I whipped up some hummus and put it in a wrap with tons of fresh crunchy vegetables.  I know this weather is just a teaser and our snow will return.  But for today I'll be like the kids and the birds and enjoy every minute of sunshine we get!
