I've missed you, running

I thought I was starting of 2013 right by running back to back half marathons. I thought the accomplishment would inspire me to keep my running spirit. But the weather and circumstances made it such that I really haven't wanted to run much since. Pile on an unbearable workload, cold weather, and I've only run 3 times on the last 3 weeks. Pathetic.

Despite not wanting to go, and making excuses as long as I could, I finally went for a "long" run; my first since the new year. And it was amazing. The weather was beautiful, though I was dressed too warmly. The sky was blue and without a single cloud to be seen. I got into the groove right away and remembered what it is that I love about running. I can't pinpoint one thing, but many, the freedom, the peace, the strength. I'm so glad I've found it again!
