As many of you are aware in July of 2012 Julie and I took up running. Today I would like to share my experience of running. Since I had today off I thought that it would be a good idea to run in the afternoon since most of my runs are in the dark of the morning. I waited until about 3pm to get ready and head out the door. The sun had been shining or hiding behind clouds all day. I had received many weather warnings of snow coming into the area. Well at 3:30pm when I headed out the door that is when the rain decided it was going to make its appearance. Knowing full well if I waited I would not get my run in for the day. It was only 5 miles so I mustered all my courage and headed out the door. Part of my run takes me past an elementary school. This is the same school Carly is attending preschool. School was getting out and you could see the excitement and wonder in the eyes of the children. With the events of the past weekend my thoughts during most of my run was on my two little girls and the joy and frustration that they bring into my life.
I can tell you that I much rather run in the rain or rain snow mixture or even snow, as I had all three during my run today. The weather today was much more enjoyable than running in the wind that has been a perpetual nuisance for the last month during my runs.
Today was also the first time in two months I did not have any pain in my knee as I ran. Sweet monkeys am I excited. The I-Band injury has been a pain and almost halted me in the middle of a half marathon.
Things are looking good as I build mileage to start training for my marathon in May.
