No one came to my aerobics class tonight. Instead of coming home, I went running. It just happened to be raining. Sometimes running in the rain really sucks. Your shoes and socks get wet. It's easy to slip and fall. It can be just miserable. But sometimes running in the rain makes you feel bad ass. Tonight was a combination of both. I felt bad ass at times, but it was also a bit cold and I wasn't dressed for it---because I planned to teach aerobics rather than run.
I only ran three miles tonight, but it was the fastest three miles I've run all summer. Of course, fast for me is not fast for other people, but I had a little bit of a burn in my lungs going, which felt good. I should do that more often just to remind myself what it feels like. I like to run in my "comfort zone" without really pushing. It's good to remember what it feels like to push.
Jessica and I have nine miles to do on Saturday. It's a recovery week. After running over 11 last week, nine sounds pretty short. The week after that we'll do 12 miles, which is the longest we will run before the half marathon.
Hi Elaine, just wondering how your run went today. I guess we can talk about it Sunday when we have Grilled Salmon and lot's of other goodies! I know Denell has mentioned my Dam To Dam run but I felt really good starting out at a moderate pace and ending with the big push.....passing people and striding out. See you tommorrow and I hope your run today went well. Old Bill #3
