Weather - 12 degrees, clear, windy. Was kind of fearing the cold today for my run, so I threw on 5 shirts,
long underwear/sweats, 2 hats, mittens, face protector, and hoped for
the best as I ran to Busey Woods.
I decided to wear my new cross
country shoes for the first time (minus the spikes), they felt
comfortable, and once I got into the woods I ran effortlessly around
and around, feeling like a music chord lost in a Philip Glass
composition.
Snow on the ground, bare, blackened trees rushing
by, patches of washed out blue settling into the frozen trails. I found
my flow, and ended up running 13 x 1 mile loops, for a total of 15
miles.
It felt good to soak in a hot tub when I finally got
home, allowing myself to thaw as I focused on my feeling of health and
strength which is so wonderful to experience. #424
