Running Happy…..

I know my fitness is in the toilet due to my stint as an injured runner but I’m back on the trail and could not be happier.  I’m not fast.  I’m not smooth.  I’m not pain free but I’m happy as hell!  Last night Michael and I hit OPT with the jogging stroller and 2 flat tires.

He wasn’t really into sitting in the stroller but did enjoy the trail east of the Grainery because he normally doesn’t make that trek.

Everything is so green and alive and the trees helped shade us from the fading sun.  We didn’t see any critters but we weren’t exactly quiet either.  We chatted, he told me to run faster, we saw a few people, stopped for a few photos, and I let him out a few times to run.

Things are good again.  We ran 4 miles and I basically decided if I could just run, even if it wasn’t long distance, even if it wasn’t fast, then I’d be happy.  Very happy.
