Finally a Fun Run!

Is running ever really fun? Every blue moon or so... really, it's a rarity. After bronchitis and pneumonia crippled me and my training in March, it's been a long road back to normal. I finally had a training run last Thursday where I actually didn't mind being in motion and actually felt good. Sunday's long run also wasn't bad. Training has been wearing on me a bit... fitting in my life around my runs and the weather and illnesses (mine and the kids') has been a challenge the past few weeks. Like my recent runs, I can only hope the upward trend continues... temps in the upper 50s and 60s, everyone staying healthy and the sun shining with some consistency.

I was thinking of Bruce the other day and how we used to talk about plodding along no matter what the pace or weather knowing there was a reward waiting for us... even if that reward was simply the satisfaction of being done.
