This was a hard run to get started. I was tired from yesterday and from the allergy medicine. I was almost about to take a nap, but Ed said that the sun was starting to go away. Knowing that we've been having so much rain and we're supposed to have rain coming up, I didn't want to miss my opportunity to soak in the warm rays.

Since I barely ran during the week, I decided to try for 4 miles today. The first half felt long, and my legs felt heavy. I was having trouble believing that it was only 2 miles to my turn around.

The trail was crowded, though, and I enjoyed people watching, seeing all the people enjoying the sunlight as much as I was.

Once I started heading back, I began to feel much stronger. It was so unbelievably gorgeous, and I was really enjoying the trail. I even thought about extending the run, but since the race is next weekend, I thought I shouldn't push it.

Before I knew it, I was back home, and feeling lovely.

I love blue skies :)
