I slept in two days in a row and so today didn't get my run in until 6:30 in the evening. It's such a beautiful time of the day, but harder to run. The sun is thick and low and makes the air heavy and yellow like honey. There was a gorgeous breeze that made the leaves clap quietly above my head, and kids swimming and laughing in the deep pockets of the river. I was tempted to jump in too after my run. Except then I remembered how that one summer I did that after every run, and then the blond parts of my hair started turning light green. So I stopped doing that so much. I was reminded that week 4 is a recovery week and so I'm going to take that pretty seriously. So today, was about remembering why I love to run. Also, it's time to start ramping up the Saturday runs and trying to do those faster. So for today I'm in love with running again. I'll work hader some other day. Ave. pace 8:49 |
