I am currently living with my Great Aunt Bonnie. I decided it was safe to run in her neighborhood considering half her ward is over 70 most nearing 80. My mom would be so proud of me! I remembered to put sun screen on. You would think I would remember that more often because I am so white, but I forget a lot. It felt so good to run. I thought I would have a hard time because my asthma has been acting up lately, but I actually feel better than I did before. My allergies are not as bad either even though I ran past those shrubs of death that normally put me into a sneezing fit for a half hour.
I want to run for a reason. I want my asthma to improve, and after one day, I think this might just help. I have felt tired the last week or so and I thought that running would make me more tired, but it actually energized me. I made one mistake though. I ran down a hill that had to be 100% steep. I was doing ok and then I tripped. Then I rolled my ankle trying to catch myself from slamming my face on the hill. Don't think anybody wasn't watching, because this old guy was trying not to laugh as he asked if I was okay. Old people. Oddly, I felt I needed to keep running and now my ankle is fine.
Do you know what the best part about my morning run was? All the beautiful gardens!!! I love flowers. I was in heaven. There is no other way to describe how excited I was to see those flowers. It was so neat to see every yard with a well kept garden. I could probably spend hours looking at all the flowers! I don't know what these flowers are, but I think they are my favorite find of the day.
