Last night, huh.. Let me explain. I had 3 cheese ravioli with marinara sauce, grilled Italian sausage and Texas toast for dinner. I love carb loading ;). I then set the alarm for 6:45, woke up feeling so rested. I haven't slept good the last couple of nights. Last nights sleep was needed. So I make my cup of coffee and read up on some things on my laptop. Yes I still have a laptop. I really need a iPad honey;).
Then I got all my gear on, starting with my garmin, then my phone case, my buds and my favorite new gear, my camelbak. I have been eyeing one for some time. I need it so bad when running in this heat and humidity. I got the camelbak charm. Holds 50L and so easy to fill and put on and sip through. It's amazing. It's my second time to use it and I couldn't be happier.
This morning I decided to put ice in it. That helped keep the water COLD. I was all set and ready to go thinking its gonna be a hot one but much to my surprise it was very cloudy and starting to drizzle. The wind was blowing, the air was just right. Off I went into a peaceful 8 mile run. On my way I saw a mama and baby dear. I haven't seen dear since Texas. It was beautiful. I kept trucking along to a nice steady pace in the pouring rain. It was like the rain was just washing all my worries, fears and cares away. I had a goal for 8 miles and I succeeded. I love running in the rain, sure everything was soaked but I felt so clean inside!! It was an amazing run and those are the runs that I remember. Those are the runs I long to run, that's why I run. Not time, pace, place, races.. It's the feeling of peace step after step. That's what it is all about. Ok ok and I met my mileage for the week😊
