Sun-day training run

The rain this past week has been hideous. JM and I planned our training run for today and we fully expected it to be miserable, since we've had so much rain...the precip this past week was almost two and half times our normal precip for this time of year. SOGGY in Seattle.

As it turned out, today was unexpectedly beautiful! It was a little chilly at first, but the SUN was out! We started our run in Madison park, so we could head down lake Washington Blvd. As we headed down the hill, I saw the sun glistening on the lake and I felt completely exhilarated! The 8 mile out and back loop is a segment of the Seattle Marathon course, so we were in good company today...tons of people out enjoying the day. What I wouldn't give to be able to bottle the feeling of running outside, it would make the treadmill days so much more enjoyable.
