Back at It?

For the first time this summer, I met my running group for a 7AM run. It was hot. It was muggy. It was buggy. It was glorious.

There's nothing like getting in a good sweat to make you feel alive! I logged 6 miles on my favorite trail.

• mile 1 - 9:22
• mile 2 - 9:11
• mile 3 - 9:33
• mile 4 - 9:14
• mile 5 - 9:22
• mile 6 - 9:15

I could tell it's been awhile since I went for a good, hard run. I came home, ate, showered, and promptly went back to bed for a few hours. It really does feel amazing to wear yourself out like that. That is, as long as you have the time to sleep afterwards.

I've been eyeing a November marathon, but I'm still not ready to commit. I better give it a few weeks to see if I can get back into a regular running routine. Although this break from running was good for me, I definitely miss it!
