What a great day

The temp is so pleasant today. I ran 4 miles this morning with my Belhaven running buddy and my doggie, and it was great. It felt pretty easy and I found myself thinking that a mere 4 miles is just a quick, short run these days. Who'd have thunk it?

I'm going to get my 9 in on Friday because I'll be going on a kayaking day trip on Saturday with a bunch of friends. I believe I'll do my Belhaven loop twice and add a bit to get the 9. I'll be back for next Saturday, and sure hate to miss this one. I am feeling much stronger, more motivated, more confident, more everything. I was even going to go ride bikes with another friend after my run this morning, but SHE wimped out. Probably a good thing with a long run tomorrow, but I was in my padded shorts already.

I hope everyone has a beautiful day today, a great rest day tomorrow, and a wonderful, EASY run on Saturday. I'll miss you, but will be thinking about you paddling down the river. WooHoo!!!

Sounds like a fun trip. We will miss you! I keep thinking about that shirt one of the MM's was wearing that said on the back: "Paddle faster! I hear banjo music!" Have fun!

I was thinking the same thing today...how easy 4 miles are! Didn't say anything like that last February! Ain't progress great? Hope you have fabulous time paddling down the river this weekend!

Chuck, I saw that shirt and thought the exact same thing!! I have paddled in some places that made me hear the banjo music, for sure. Take care, and have a great run!!

Progress is great, so rewarding, makes you want to do some more!!
