i had my first run today since marine corps last sunday. 8 days of no running. and it felt so good to just get out and run and lose myself in my music, breathing, strides, etc... ...since deciding mid-marathon that i did not want to do anything disney (no full. no half) i have nothing on my calendar until Ragnar in June and I am thinking about keeping it that way. ...well i will do some local 5ks and 10ks... it just feels good to have no pressure. 2010 has been a crazy year of races.
...it feels good to just get out and run like a kid with no cares and no worries. too bad the sun is setting early and i cannot out run the sun, so i had to settle for a short run. but it still feels great to get back out there and just run for the fun of it.
So true! It's easy to get sucked into races but sometimes the best runs are the ones we do to relax.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good run for fun. :) Sometimes that is exactly what you need.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ran since Oct 23rd...and I'm planning on getting out there this weekend! I can't wait! It's been far, far too long!
