Sometimes you have one of those days where it just seems everything is a little off including your mood. Today was that day and some of it, or most of it, has to do with this transition from light to dark (and no I don’t mean just the election, har har har). This time of year is the hardest for me but it passs. It doesn’t help that it’s also been raining for the last two days and traffic has been awful.
Anyhow.
Work was so so and, if nothing else, was dull. It’s Election Day and I didn’t vote before work so after getting stuck in a parking garage for far too long and rushing to vote, I was not in the mood to then rush to run club in the rain. But I went because I knew I was going to run either inside or out, so hey not.
And what a great decision.
Tonight’s run was one of those runs where everything just clicks. It was a quick pace, running with someone for part and then my own. The weather was different and not too hot or cold (although it was wet). Nothing hurt and nothing felt off really off and when it did feel a little off I could put it aside and keep trucking. It was a happy and free run and just what I needed today.
It was also a bit of what I’ve needed post-Marathon. I don’t feel like I’m in a rut and I am not injured (woo!) but it does take a bit to get your feet back under you. Things do hurt and you are tired plus you just aren’t going as much as you did. It’s like suddenly you hit the brake after doing 90 mph and it takes somet time to shift back into the proper gear. I know this run didn’t suddenly jump start my training again because I don’t really have a plan of what’s next (I have started some thoughts of course) but it felt good and back to my old self.
