No, not DREADING the road...treading it! I got out for a run today. It was absolutely spectacular. Everything was beautiful, white, and wonderful. Okay, so that doesn't mean I like winter weather or the roads for that matter. The fact is, I have been longing for more road runs. Treadmill runs are necessary to keep me running, but when I can find the time to get out for a run, it's so amazing!
I ran a little too fast for an easy run. Maybe this is because I'm always slow on the treadmill, and once I get momentum and forward thrust, I can kick out a mile much faster. This morning, my average mile was 8:18, and I ran for 6.27 miles. That's pretty fast for a nice easy run, especially where I'm at right now. I was really hoping for a bit slower pace (especially with such unpredictable roads).
Tomorrow, I was going to take the day off, but I'm going to see if I can fit in another early morning outdoor run. Maybe this time, just 3.5 miles. But I'm having too much fun to take a day off. I might take Saturday off. Maybe. Oh, AND my new Pearl Izumi's just came in the mail today. They're the same one's I already have, but my old one's are wearing out, and injury is not a word I would like in my vocabulary right now! SO....hopefully, early morning run with my new zumi's and I'll think about Friday when the day comes...Saturday, probably taking the day off...we'll see.
Thought for the day: Whatever you have, wherever you are, whoever you're with...appreciate it for what it's worth. You could lose it all in the blink of an eye.
