Happy Monday Runners!

Today's quote is from Peggy Fleming:

The first thing is to love your sport. Never do it to please someone else. It has to be yours.

It's been so hot here on the US East Coast that it's hard to remember that we do love running as we get up earlier and earlier in order to get our long runs in before the heat and humidity become not only unbearable, but also somewhat unsafe to exercise in.

How was your week? What is one thing you love about running?

I didn't run much due to being on vacation (rafting on the San Juan river, and you can read a long report with way too many photos on my journal) but I did get two runs in when we returned, including a 12-miler that is my longest post-injury run.

Running always gets me outside and moving. Even when it's snowing I enjoy being out in the world.

Also, I love that it lets me eat ice cream and drink beer and not get fat.
