Sunday RunDay

I woke up this morning with the ultimate runners’ high!  Although 10 kilometers is a distance I’ve run multiple times in the past, yesterday was the first time I’ve ever run for charity. Overall it went really well and it was one of those runs where nothing could have killed my buzz.

It didn’t matter that…

  • …I drank more than planned the night before
  • …I took a couple of walking breaks

  • …This was the longest I’ve run since December…and my legs definitely reminded me of that this morning
  • …I listened to Raise Your Glass at least 6 times during

  • …I committed a fashion faux pas as I ran: navy on top & black on the bottom
  • …It wasn’t my fastest 10K
  • …I constantly thought about the iced coffee I was going to inhale right after

  • …Treadmill boredom crept in, and hence this post came to be
  • … The eye makeup from the night before had completely smudged all over my face by the end of it
  • …The treadmills at my gym are programmed to stop after 32 minutes

What matters is that:

  • I finished…along with 54 other runners and one dog in 9 different cities
  • I thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience, and can’t wait to do it all over again

What was source of your last natural high?

  1. WOW, congratulations Khushboo! $7000 is amazing! What a high, indeed! My last natural high had nothing to do with giving back, it was when Dos Caminos (restaurant) invited me to hang with their chef and learn about avocadoes. 🙂 Nothing in comparison to your accomplishment.

    1. CONGRATULATIONS KT. You’re such a star and so motivated. I bet the iced coffee tasted super sweet after the run.

      Hmmmm my last natural high? Had to be after a particularly intense Bikram Yoga class.

  2. Great job on pushing through the run! I love that you stayed motivated with the ice coffee haha, I dream of items like that too, or a nice smoothie if it’s hot out! That feeling of getting through it and then lingering on your accomplishments after is just the best 🙂

  3. I think this sounds great! not bad at all – especially considering you hadn’t run in a while….I’d kill for that time 😉 and FYI – navy and black are a rule of the past! wear them all you want 😀 – there are no rules in fashion, just be confident in your choices

  4. Yay!!!! Well done for getting through it. And hey, if a song works, then keep replaying it. Some songs just have that magic factor for getting you through a tough run.

  5. Nice job getting through!
    Smudged make up is a problem for all athlete women I think 😉
    It’s nice to know that you are running for a purpose.. I wish I could feel that way everytime I run! 😀
    When I was getting back in shape, I felt that I could run forever, and I was really pumped up by it! I realized that I was having runner’s high! It’s a great feeling!!

  6. Congrats on the 10k!!! That iced coffee would have been so good after 😀

    Oh yeah – sweaty makeup and a smudged face is the sign of a good workout 😀
