It could have been the Coca-Cola I had at 3pm; or maybe it was the marshmallow I had at 4:30. Perhaps it was the fact that I haven’t been able to get in a run since my PR on Sunday, February 10th (for that, we can blame insomnia, my authors, designer handbags and another, attention-addicted blogger who will remain nameless) and my legs were restless. And, chances are good it had at least a little something to do with the manic multi-tasking I was pushing all day at the office.
Well, whatever it was, I had a fantabulous run home this evening, hitting one of my best times ever for the route, running the 3.5 miles in 31:35. Jiggity jig, indeed. It was one of those runs where my legs were turning with self-satisfied reliability (look what we can do!). Each body check was a pleasant surprise as I realized I could maintain the pace and the effort all the way home. Granted, there was a certain amount of fortunate timing involved, as I was forced to halt for just one red light the whole way home, which is pretty unheard of.
Anyway, I’m happy. I hope you are too, for reasons of your own, of course. After all, it is Friday.
(Oh, right, so if you haven’t already figured it out, henceforth all posts about my runs home from work will be entitled JJ.)
