Some days I just don't feel like running. Today was one them. It took everything I had to drag myself out the door and onto the streets. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and there was only a very light breeze, it was a little cool at 35 degrees.
The first couple of miles were a little arduous but after five I was feeling great and loving life! It felt wonderful to be in the wide open countryside, not a person or car in sight (a rare thing in Northern Virginia). As the miles clipped by I found myself thinking how easy this is and was amazed at the ability of the human body to move itself over long distances without falling apart.
After 15 miles I arrived back at my house feeling energized and in love with life! I was ready to take on the rest of the afternoon. (I procrastinated until noon before starting!)
15 miles, 8:23 pace
