The title for this post may seem strange: obviously if I want to run a marathon, I don't hate running, right? Some days that is difficult to remember. I spend so much time running in conditions that I dislike (even in winter in Florida since it's often still humid) that it can be really hard to think back to those good runs that I enjoyed.
Today was one of those good ones.
I went around 7:15PM (post-ballgame) just in time to get the light of the setting sun. This run was next to the Charles, heading west (other runs have been east). The temperature was in the low 70s, the humidity was under 40%. It was fantastic. I was a bit slow to start -- probably because I didn't go yesterday -- but shook that off pretty quickly . Not too hot, not too cold, and I'm pretty sure my time was good (unfortunately, there was no good way to pause my phone at lights and I had to wait for a few, so my mile split was wrong). I hardly looked at my phone at all to see how far I had gone, which is a real change from normal when I have to give myself pep talks to get through the last half of any run.
Hurray!
Here is hoping that my good running mojo continues for tomorrow when I do the Salem 5k. And that I am not burned as a witch.
