So what I was saying was that I'm back home in Crystal Lake and gosh am I so pleasantly surprised with this weather! Knowing I'd be home at this part of winter did scare me a little but my run actually made me quite warm! I love when people take advantage of the weather like this. I saw many runners and walkers and even ice fishers (each time I passed them I said a little prayer for the ice not to melt until they left the ice!). I mean, it's clear that once again I am slacking on this whole training thing. I'll even admit I was a bit nervous this morning. I knew that I'd enjoy the run once I was in the middle because I cannot stress how therapeutic it is to run and be completely alone with your thoughts. The first half mile was not enjoyable but I eventually got it in gear and continued on. By mile 13 I was aching. I kept reminding myself how lucky I am for such a beautiful day. I was certainly not eager to run in the bitter cold. All in all, I spent my run thinking about everything under the moon. Before I knew it, I was done. Whew. I am one sore lady.
Only one more (maybe two) extremely long runs before the big marathon day! How is it February tomorrow? Have a great start to the month! I shall leave you with this.
Best,
Anne
