Off To A Great Start

I was able to sleep in an extra hour today because I went into work late. I had to stay later today to attend a City Council meeting and I did not want to miss my run since it would have bothered me. I saw this as a great opportunity to get an early morning in before I headed out the door and I am so glad that I did. It was a good run and my legs felt super great for some reason. It was actually a progressive run that kind of happened by mistake. I started out at an easy pace and it just got better and better. I wish every run felt this great! 
It was not a super fast or super long run but it felt great coming off of a crappy week. I was happy and I hope this happens more often! Just had to share this...

Do you have days like this where you just feel really good and wonder where it came from?
These kinds of runs used to happen more often for me so when they do happen these days I get really excited and just savor the moment!

When Things Start to Feel a Bit Easier....

I woke up at 5:30 am this morning to tend to my two dogs and the "new family of five." I really wanted to get 9 miles in today so I finished my doggy duty and laced up my shoes! The weather was beautiful so I am glad I went for it! I ran one of my old familiar local routes and it felt like old times.
I was surprised at how an 8:30ish pace is starting to feel a bit easier for me. I didn't say it was easy but today it felt manageable. Getting back to this kind of pace without taking breaks has taken a lot of time for me and I was happy with myself today. I haven't felt this way in a while. I tried not to babysit the Garmin too much and just go with how I felt and an 8:20-8:30 pace was my comfort zone today. 
Got any big plans for the weekend?  
I have a busy weekend planned with lots of errands and a few fun activities. 
HAPPY FRIDAY!
