My run yesterday was an unexpected delight - the weather forecasts were calling for cold weather and I was ready to retreat to the treadmill at the gym. As the day wore on, my blogging and other writing ate up a lot more of my time than expected. The weather began to moderate with the sun coming out and temps rising to around 40. After doing some errands, I got a call form my wife informing me that her flight would be in way before I had planned so to get a run in I'd have go outside to make her flight on time.

I dressed accordingly with a windbreaker and cap and gloves, all of which could be removed if I got too warm. As I ran, I felt strong or more likely, the angst from the week gave me added energy to "bring it." I had my iPod but the "wild" thoughts and ideas were running free with me. Inspired and confidant I logged a 3+ mile run around the neighborhood and felt good throughout it. This is running as it should be.
