Today’s Run
What a beautiful day it was for running and clearing my head for a little while. When I left home, I had planned to run only 5 miles due to planning a run tomorrow. Well, I ended up completing 9 miles instead!
The distance from my house to the nearest park is approximately two miles, but the road that runs the entire length of the park is 2.2 miles in each direction. After running to the park, I started at the beginning of the road to the end and back again. On the way home, I added an extra mile because I was feeling good, but a little tired.
Of course, the fatigue I felt was a signal for my depleted glycogen levels, but I kept going anyway while eating a granola bar (couldn’t find what I really wanted) and drinking water. Sitting here now, I’m feeling euphoric and slightly tired, but calm. It was a great run.
