Will Run For Ice Cream

I went running yesterday for the first time by the river. It was beautiful to run by the frozen snow-covered river. My boss is a runner, and she and I went running after work.

I felt like my lungs were going to explode, but I didn’t stop. It’s amazing how setting a goal, no matter how large or small, and finishing the goal gives such a great feeling of accomplishment.
