My first day back to a new me

Today was a good start of my long journey. Thanks to my friend Runge my new running partner I am more motivated and have started getting excited about my daily run again. Running is my me time. My time to think and to focus on myself. It is time I am able to forget about my stresses and release them through the energy. Also a new thing I am going to try is working out in the mornings. I used to work out at night and I just don't feel like I go as often at night and it keeps me up late whereas when I exercise in the morning I have so much energy and life throughout the rest of my day. And the best part is I feel happier.
