I’ve been running for the last couple of weeks. Sure, they’ve been short and slow, but they have been wonderful! The feeling of getting back out there, doing what I love, more than anything else in the world, is euphoric. Nothing makes me happier, brings me more satisfaction, than running.
And to see the flowers starting to blossom, the weather warming up and hey, no rain (!!) are great things!
I ran earlier today from Land’s End down through Golden Gate Park. It was just a bit longer than three miles, but it was everything. I’m running intervals; each week, the walk portions will be less and then I’ll make the running longer. However, I’m going to keep up the intervals, they worked great for me before. I tried straight road running last year and it was not great. So, intervals it is.
I figure I’m an older runner and I want to keep running for many, many years.
It is my favorite season because of all those cliched reasons. Rebirth, renewal, new energy, growth, warmth and all that comes with it!
Happy Spring!
