Beautiful clear morning with cooler temperatures (high 50's to lower 60's). Had a few more aches and pains this morning, but they were all gone by the first mile. Instead of focusing on what I was giving up (sleep in a nice soft bed), I just tried to be more aware and grateful for what I was gaining in return. It's sometimes too easy to take your surrounding for granted and hard to appreciate the things that you see and do every day, but as I tried to do that, I not only enjoyed my run more, I actually started running faster just because I could. |
