Well I finished week one of One Hour Runner on Saturday. I just ran for thirty minutes every day, no big deal. It's what I have been doing for a month or so now. But my last run, the one on Saturday, was my best ever! Usually, when I start running, it's kind of a struggle to get into the zone. It feels hard, and it takes time to get warmed up. This time, I felt great from the first moment, and I was able to run three whole miles in thirty minutes. Usually it takes me more like thirty-five minutes to go that far.
What was the difference? I suspect it may have been the yoga class I went to on Friday. My body felt brand new! I liked that feeling so much I went back for another yoga class this morning. I am going to try and fit in as much yoga as possible in this one month trial membership... and if it keeps feeling so worthwhile, then I am going to try and stick with it.
Another great thing about running lately is that it's cool, but not too cold. Perfect for working hard outside. And the fall colors on the trees are gorgeous. Running along the river path and seeing all the trees across the Hudson is pretty glorious. I wonder if my new found appreciation for the seasons is a sign I am growing old? Soon I will be oohing and ahhing over Canada geese, like somebody's parents I know.
