Easing back on track

Put those running shoes on again.
I awoke feeling pretty good this morning, at our secret recovery location (lake place in Northern Minnesota). So I decided to go for a run. Usually, I don’t run so soon after a race. Perhaps it’s the protein recovery drink I took after the race. But my legs have been feeling quite good since Monday. I had already walked 7 miles in the previous days and didn’t feel bad. 
So a run it was. 
I started off very easily thinking if my joints and muscles complained then I could stop and walk again like the other days. But they didn’t so I eased up the pace slowly, and dialled it down if necessary. Quicker started to feel better and better. Each mile felt better than the first. Mile three was an utter delight. The joy of running started to course through my legs. With the early morning sun on my face, all was right with the world. I crushed the last tenth of a mile because I wanted to. 
Bring on Twin Cities Marathon!
