Could've Been

Since my schedule for Wednesday only called for 10 miles, but I ran 14.8, I decided I could take Thursday off.  Friday is my normal day off, so that would make two in a row!  After running the miles on the Brad/Pineland Connector and then raking the South Ridge Trail with Mindy, two days seemed necessary.

When I woke up on Thursday, the cold wind made the damp day very dreary.  I was still very happy thinking I wasn't running.  As the day got older, the weather got nicer.  By four o'clock, the sun was shining and the breeze was friendly.  OK, I wanted to run.  Instead of convincing myself that I really needed a day off, I convinced myself that I needed to run in warm weather.  It would probably be warm at Pineland.  I enjoyed every step of my 4.25 field miles.
