Notes

The first 2.6 miles of this run were a warm-up of sorts. It's been a while since I've run at top medium distance speed for any length of time. So with a half mile or so to go, I opened it up. Then ran harder. And then more.

Pushing hard with each step, looking like a runner... feeling like a runner. Feet kicking out behind me, my legs reaching forward with each stride to grab the next sorry piece of asphalt. Continuing to stoke the fire until I'd crossed the finish line, and not letting up until it was all over. Feeling the beer sloshing around in my stomach threatening to greet the lawn if I went too far over the red line.

What a great run.
