Weekly check in

Happy Monday runners!

I hope everyone had a fantastic week last week and another coming up.

Today's quote is from Amby Burfoot:

I run because I enjoy it—not always, but most of the time. I run because I've always run—not trained, but run.

I find that more and more of my inspirational quotes are coming from Amby these days. Who are the people who inspire you?

I was sick last week. I went out once and had to cut it short because the illness exacerbated my asthma and my gasping for breath irritated my sore throat. So I basically had seven days off, because that one day was so terrible I don't count it. :)

Yesterday I was able to go out again, and I was absolutely prepared to suck. And, yeah, my endurance was kind of shot. But my speed! For some reason, I got faster! I ran an eight-minute block of speed. Well, speedier than my usual snail's pace, anyway. I was very surprised.

I'm due out again tomorrow, so I think I'll just see how it goes. The body, it is doing unexpected things. *mystery fingers of ooooh*
