   Everything hurts...

   Mercifully it was a little less humid this morning, so early run #3 is safely in the bag. But I was barely awake for most of it, but then as I turned the last corner toward home I was awoken and rewarded with a hint of a cooling breeze, which lifted my spirits out of all proportion to the length and difficulty of the run. It wasn’t a runners’ high so much as a feeling of immense satisfaction and inner well-being. And I couldn’t help but think that if I felt this fantastic after a mere quarter of an hour, what will it feel like when I get back to half marathon distances again? Some days the rewards massively outweigh the effort put in. I guess that’s why I love running.
