Lunch Run
There are days when, despite the world being stacked against you when it comes to time, equipment, weather, or whatever, that its possible to have a truly wondeful run. Days when you float over the ground effortlessly, smiling and feeling that mystical “runner’s high” kicking in.
Then there are days like today, when despite the beautiful weather - I hate to admit this - it was just a run. That’s right - nothing special about it, I just put on my shoes, ran seven miles in about an hour, and got back to work. I didn’t even remember to make a note about it until just now.
Still, that’s a lot better than having one of the other runs. This wasn’t bad. It was really quite pleasant. Just … uneventful.

You may be in a funk, but then again, there’s something cool about running a quick, easy 7 miles, isn’t there?

I haven’t run in just over a week!!! So I envy your run not matter how uneventful it was…and your weather I envy you weather as too.

7 miles during lunch! I bow to you — pushing it I can get 4 in during the day. Even then, it takes a good half-hour *after* the shower to get cooled down and feeling normal again. Wow.

And remember, it’a a whole lot better than no run at all!

I think some days you just have to put in the mileage. Some of the less exciting parts of the training, I guess. Hope the next run is a little more interesting.

Runs are often like lottery tickets. Sometimes you win the *big one*, some suck, and sometimes you just win another ticket. Runs are actually way better than lotteries, because by getting out there you’ve gained something already.
