I slept normal last night and I felt good running this morning. I was also somewhat worried that it would be windy this morning because it was unexpectedly super windy yesterday morning. There was slight wind this morning, but it didn't bother me. I also had minor shin splints last night from walking around, but I didn't have that problem this morning. My mild shin splints seem to come and go whenever.
So, I decided to run on this route this morning. Between mile 2.9 and mile 3.3, there was challenging enough uphill. It was challenging enough that I thought I would want to take a break at some point of the hill or even at the top of the hill. I powered through without stopping or slowing down to a walk. I felt so accomplished, happy, and like I had a runner's high that I didn't want to stop for a rest or walk, and I kept running. I hadn't done this route in a long time and the last few times that I did, I had to break during the uphill because I had a hard time with it and didn't have enough endurance to keep running.
I thought I would take a break from running this following week. I'm not sure now because I feel like I still want to run. I think I'll just keep running until I really get bored and my motivation crashes.
