This has been a crazy week! Between the 4th of July holiday and getting a new smart phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 - The bomb!) I am backed up on my Feedly reader and my blog. I even went 4 days without checking my e-mail!
But one thing in my life has finally returned to normal.... my running! I'm not sure what happened, but after the Run for the Pies 5k, I lost my mojo. I continued running - but I hated it. I started dreading my runs. And then I started worrying that maybe I just wasn't cut out for this. Maybe I was fooling myself that I could be a runner at all.
Then last Sunday I went for a run - after a rain storm - in an amazingly cool 75 degrees. It was wonderful! I ran fast for the first time since the race - but this time I didn't feel like I was going to collapse. In fact, I felt wonderful - and even though this was supposed to be an easy 4 miles, I ended up making it a 5 miler with a couple of tempo miles thrown in!
Then, on Tuesday I ran in the rain. What fun that was! I kept catching myself grinning - something that hadn't happened in quite a while!
Thursday I ran on the treadmill - and it was actually bearable!! Then Saturday night, my husband I traveled to Amelia Island to run the biking trail there. It was a fun and easy 8 mile run.
"fun and easy" not "hot and horrible" or "humid and unbearable" or "long and tortuous"!!!
Finally - Running is FUN again!
Now... time to catch up on all my blogs!
