So, I had a "reality bites" discussion with my lawyer first thing this morning which fouled my mood for the entire work day. After work, I went to the mall, as usual, to kill an hour before my running group, and I didn't even feel like shopping. I drowned my sorrows with some emotional eating at Marble Slab (at least I opted for the low-fat frozen yoghurt versus the full-fidelity ice cream) and then was miserable during the drive to the Running Room.

All of a sudden, during hill repeats of the group run, my concerns faded. I finished the hard workout and felt GOOD. I was transformed into a happy person again. Is that all it takes? If so, I might just run every day from here on in!
