On this (made-up) holiday, I offer you the option to love yourself. My gift for the one I love: c’est moi? A run on the treadmill. 3 miles to myself. I wish it were outside, but sans health insurance on these bad knees? No thanks.
My first post on Running From Nothing, a blog I no longer write on, was called: Night One. Writing this felt as amazing as it still does to run 3 miles and still have more left in me.
I invite each one of you to get out there and do something for you today. Maybe make it a habit? A happy you, makes for a happy partner and happy family.
I love you, Dave… but I love me, too.
As for my favorite valentine?
She and I will be kissing, hugging, snuggling and reading with each other all day… after I run 🙂

That onsie is adorable! I’m taking your advice and hitting the treadmill when I get home with some of MY favorite music blaring! Happy Valentines Day!

<3 your reminder to be your own best Valentine by taking a little time for yourself. Every year I get myself a birthday present. I should do the same for V-Day. Maybe I will sneak out to the gym today…you've inspired me!

You gotta love yourself first and foremost, right? I think we all need to be reminded that we need to put ourselves right up there with the rest of them. That 3 mile run probably felt damn good. Love it! And Addie’s shirt is adorable! Is that puffy paint????

The shirt is too cute! A run alone sounds heavenly. At this point it’s be more of a waddle for me.
