What a GREAT run!

Tonight was a basic 50 minute run, and it was fantastic! I think the massage on Sunday really paid off, and yesterday's break from training was a real rejuvinator. While I've skipped my share of training sessions this summer, yesterday was a rare instance where I actually did nothing in it's place. After work I came home, watched some TV, updated my blog, and went to bed early.

It's amazing what a little rest can do for you! When I headed out for my run tonight, I could immediately tell that I had my mojo going. I felt energized, focused, and strong. More importantly, I felt like I could run for days. My pace was solid from beginning to end. Hills didn't phase me at all, and when I reached the end of my (6 mile?) route, I realized I still had 5 minutes left to fill - so I ran past the house for a ways and turned back. If only I feel half as good the day of the race!
