That's my Jam!

Last night's run was FANTASTIC. I was in my new shoes and ran along the trail by my house. It was so much fun. My running song of the day was "Long Day" by Matchbox 20, which totally reminded me of college and also got me going after what was honestly a pretty long day. I love what I do, but I was mentally exhausted. I'd had meetings much of the day and then had to fax a letter out to the CA Senate Ag & Food Committee in preparation for a meeting they are having today, so Livey watched Elmo at my desk while my friend/colleague Darlene and I faxed and mailed. I rushed Livey home at 7:30 p.m., put her in the bath, fed her dinner while she splashed around, then Paul got home at 8:00 and for a minute I thought "I don't need a run tonight, it's late..." but then I got up, put my running shoes on and bounded out of the house. I did 20 minutes of continuous running and about 10 minutes of walking (about 2 miles). If the sun wasn't setting I could have kept going. I'm really starting to understand what they mean by "runner's high". It felt wonderful.

I'm running with Jennifer and DeeDee tonight at Toro - they're both faster than me, but patient, thank goodness. Now for the title of today's blog. It's an inside joke my husband and I have about music we either really like (i.e. RUSH, for him) or music we really don't like (i.e. RUSH, for me). Last night I definitely found "my jam".
