One of Those Runs

Ever have one of those runs? What I mean by "one of those runs" is a perfect run. The air has a chill to it with a slight breeze, other runners are out saying hi to each other with a huge smile, your muscles feel great, your fully carbed up , you have a ton of energy and you feel great the entire time? One of those runs...

I was so happy when I got home, I still can't stop smiling. Don't get me wrong, I use every ounce of energy I had and I'm drenched in sweat and I finished in a great time (for me). So, this is a start to the perfect day. I had 11 miles on the schedule, but I took a wrong turn and ended with 11.39 miles. Oh well, it was still great!

Jason should be getting up soon and then we're off for part one of a 2 part weekend (I get 2 more parts next weekend, too). I have no idea what we're doing and he has the entire weekend completely planned.

Whatever he had planned today, he changed it to tomorrow, because I need all my energy for this. I can't wait to see what we're doing!! Happy early birthday to me (it's on Wednesday).

What was your perfect run like?

  2. Is that in front of your place!? It looks awesome. I love all of the shade.

    My perfect run is in cooler weather. MUch much cooler weather.

  4. I love runs like that! The closest thing to a "perfect run" for me was after a long bike ride earlier in the day, I headed out for a long run in a downpour with plans to keep it "slow." I started out slow and felt like I was gliding the whole way; I could have run forever! After nine miles, I check in and "Woah, I must be hitting seven minute miles."

    Can't wait to hear what Jason planned out!!!
