Today is a beautiful day, by now it's mid-afternoon and the sun is still fairly high in the sky. It's gotten up into the 70F's which is incredibly wonderful, this Spring has already made me feel like I'm waking up. I ran my 2K as my (re)training entails on the schedule today. It was lovely, I felt strong and excited, the sun was in my face and on my back but in the gentle way that only Spring can do. The Kooks played in my earbuds and I sang breathy as I ran and I just felt a lot of joy in my training and thereafter today.
But tomorrow I am wondering what I will do. It is supposed to thunderstorm tomorrow and also have the highest temperature of the week at 75F. I am not one to whine about running in the rain, but if there is lightening, there is a no go. I don't have a treadmill nor do I belong to a gym. So if lightening is a part of the storm tomorrow then I don't know what will come of my training. I'm hoping it won't be very severe and that I can pump out my 2K for tomorrow.
On the bright side, everyday that I run I'm feeling stronger and more energized like I used to when I was training harder and longer. I never realized how much I missed it and how these futile, spread out, spontaneous runs were of no use to me because I wasn't gaining anything from their inconsistencies. I feel like I'm back on the saddle and determined again, and that is a wonderful feeling.
I know that there will still be bad runs, and moments of lethargy, but here's hoping those are few and far between.
Run with joy my friends!
