the best awful

running in the rain

It's been a slog lately. The motivation hasn't been high. I don't have any races planned until October, the weather sucks, I've been cold, tired, miserable and my running has suffered.

This morning was pretty much the same. I struggled to get out of bed, couldn't find my buff to cover my head from the elements, and really didn't want to go. I even started running in the wrong direction!

But, somewhere along the way all the wrong things became funny. And fun. I felt strong, fast, and free; like a kid playing in the rain. A really great, awful run.
