I had such a great run tonight. It was short, and it was really hot outside. I haven’t bought any body glide yet, so there was a little aquaphor adventure. I ran in nike tempo shorts, which, no doubt, show more of my still-squishy legs than I would like. But I listened to the first episode of the runnerslounge.com getting started podcast. I made a point to smile from ear to ear for no reason the whole run. I did NOT wear my garmin. I just ran.
 
I wasn’t running to lose weight.
 
I wasn’t running to accomplish a training goal.
 
I wasn’t running cause I had to.
 
I ran cause it feels good to turn my head off, and I ran because I can. I feel so much better. :)
 
What makes a good run/workout for you?

    It is kind of crazy/wonderful how running allows you work out without having to think about it. That’s what makes it great-your mind can wander… When I am strength training, I have to concentrate on the muscles to make sure I am doing it well and doing it right. Running is totally different in that sense, and that’s why I love it.

    For me, a good run is all about how it makes me feel. I usually have the best runs when I have had enough sleep, and eaten good. Those runs make me feel so alive, and so grateful for my health.
