live your life

listening to this song by Rihanna and T.I...good running music.

had a fantastic run tonight! had to check my schedule at Starbucks so i just made that my destination (nearly 4 miles). i wasn't sure if i would make it, especially before the sun went down. it was only 25 degrees and ended up taking me about 30 minutes.

when i got there, i felt amazing! i don't know when i've ever run that much before, and i can see now, where the endorphins take over and you just feel like you can go and go. my Starbucks friends fed me pumpkin loaf and a fruit cup and i felt terrific. except for the setting sun that i knew would soon put me running down a busy road in the dark. not safe.

as i was talking about leaving, one of our regulars offered to give me a ride half way. such a chance encounter, and we had good conversation on our short ride. she is middle-aged and so fun, kept telling me how nice i always was to her. i told her about my training and she told me how awesome it was that i was enjoying my life.

i finished the run on fumes and took a shower to warm my limbs. i'm still elated by the potential in running, where you can go, what experiences you can have.

next training run: Thursday, group track run in B-ripple.
