Being “In the Zone” December 22, 2006

There’s really nothing quite like it.
Had a full week already passed since my last run? If felt like longer, and as I set out, mixed feelings set in. I was dreading the 4 miler; I was looking forward to it. The wind was fierce and I was a bit under-layered for the chill in the air.
Mile one…was it over already? Mile two…shoulders are loose, feeling great. Mile three…totally completely in the zone. Lovin’ it. Mile four…I’ve usually stopped to walk for a count of 5 or so by now, but still going strong.
I finished mile four 10 seconds quicker than I did mile one!
Still dealing with a bit of a sore throat and now a bit of a cough, but I’m looking forward to my nine on Saturday!
Asics: 4 miles this week, 37 total
Sounds like my golf game, the first time out after a “break” is usually solid. Keep up the strong work!
Congrats on getting out and running. Keep posting! In a couple weeks, I’ll get my new orthotics and I’ll be able to join you out on the roads… until then I still need to experience the thrill of a good run through the blogs of all you other runners.
