Hello again, to all two of you who randomly happen upon this blog! It is day four of (re)training in hopes to feel strong at this 5K race I am attending next Saturday, the 4th. Today I ran another 2K. As I looked outside all I saw was wind and rain so then I finally said to myself that I will just have to be okay with the possibility of getting soaked for a short amount of time. Fortunately today is in the 70F's so any drenching that I would incur while running would at least be met with the warm air.
However, I did not get wet at all because there was no rain! I suppose the clouds had grace and kept the rain at bay. The wind, though, wanted to be my running buddy today and I was grateful because since there was no rain yet the ground is soaking and it is warm outside, humidity wanted to rear it's ugly head. Try as it might, humidity lost the battle in making my run a hot sticky mess. My running buddy. the wind, whisked away the heat rising from the ground, needless to say, I didn't mind the headwind.
So I got a little sweaty and I had my run-dance moves going with my music and I sailed through that 2K. My legs felt really strong, I sang almost the whole run which helped me not to exert my pace. Tomorrow is another day on this saga of running strong, and I begin my 3K's. I am excited to go a little longer and to be challenged more and more. I really feel like I'm beating my inconsistent nature and this blog (whether read by others or not) is really helping me to do so. I feel motivated and eager to run and that's a pretty good place to be.
Run happy my friends!
