It was just another eight mile run. Two loops in the park; something I’ve done a hundred times before. The pace, 9:20s, was nothing to write home about, but the weather was gorgeous, and after months and months of battling injuries, and fighting to slowly get my fitness back without re-injuring myself, something clicked tonight. Things just felt right – I felt like a runner again.
It was great.
And THAT is why running kicks ass.
Exactly.
I love days like that!
They’ve been rare lately for me. This one was nice.
By the way, “Runners Run” is a quote from the Mike over at the Hobby Jogger Chronicles: http://giromike.blogspot.com/
