Clear my mind

I was in a really bad mood last night. I was glad that Bret was able to take the kids out to Em's gymnastics class because really I just wanted to be left alone. Some days are just like that. I couldn't figure out how to just move past some of the hurt/pissed off feelings that I had over something that happened that was just stupid yesterday. My friend called and asked if I wanted to go running since it was pretty nice outside yesterday. YES! So after a hard 3 miles I started to feel much better. My running mate is awesome because we both have our ipods and we just run. No talking or trying to make small talk. Just listening to your headphones and focusing on your breathing. It was so refreshing to be able to clear my head of all the crap that was making me feel like crap. By the time Bret and the kids got back I was a completely different person. Before running I didn't really have a good way of working through my own thoughts. I would usually hash things out with Bret and then stew over it at night when I should be sleeping. Not only is this much better for my sleeping time but it's good for my health too.
