Finally had a "this is why I run" run! Been awhile ...

Scheduled to do 7. Ran 10. (Promise I'll get back on schedule next week ... )

Mike and I pushed our run to the evening and ended up not starting until 8 pm.

Thank god we did! It was cool and cloudy and we had some intermittent showers. We ran up to the state park and around the finger trails & camp sites -- got to listen in to the Wiz Khalifa concert most of the time!

The pace felt incredible. Smooth and easy. We barely spoke the entire run -- just got in sync and went.

Leg got a little testy throughout. Tight for about the first 2 then fine until about 5.5. It was at its worst through the finger trails, but mostly because all the turnarounds were downhill left-hand turns (the two things that bother it most.) It calmed down on the run back, then tightened up over the bridge and started acting up a lot over about the last quarter mile, but my form probably started getting sloppy at that point because I wanted to be done.

I'd easily say this was my best run of the summer! Whoo!!
