Weekly check-in

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?

Posting late to say thanks for the boost from the thread this week - I hadn't run for just on a week, and various other stresses were making me feel more than a mite fragile, and running seemed like it should be way down the priority list. Then I read the first handful of comments and thought, "yes, it does change my mood", and ran 5k Wed, then 8k last night. And I do feel better!

Sympathies to those struggling with the heat - it was minus 2 celsius here last night! I'd much rather run in that than heat.
