My legs were sore yesterday. I started talking about possibly taking a few days off from running to let my legs recover. I thought I was serious, but somehow I found myself running again today. I didn’t particularly want to run today, and I especially didn’t want to push myself too hard. It is absolutely beautiful outside today, and I wanted to spend some time outside enjoying it.

I kept telling myself that I didn’t have to run too hard, because I was going to run the whole loop again today, and that would make up for not going fast. I knew that wasn’t the ideal situation, but I figured it was fine, since I was at least out there running. I kept thinking the loop will get easier each time I do it. I don’t think I realized how much truth there was in that thought until I finished and looked at my time.<\/p>\n
