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?

How was your week?

Lax... I only got back from the sauna that was [personal profile] ell's last Wednesday, and having just come off an intercontinental flight, didn't feel up to running so I biked and swam a little instead (blessed cool water!).

Fridays run was 6.2K, pleasantly easy consdering how little I'd run while on vacation (too hot, too many other things to do!), and yesterday's didn't happen due to torrential rain. On the upside, that means it's cooled down quite a bit so I can go run tonight.

What is one thing you love about running?

The pleasantly heavy-yet-energetic feeling afterwards.
