Up early for a run. The air is humid and you can smell the threat of rain but it is dry so we hustle out into the early morning for an hour run. It is the first day that I have run and not felt like a I was pushing a brick wall. Side note: This is not typical post marathon recovery. Generally, crosstraining with other activities is preferable to running but you do what you have to, and for us our option is to run, so we do it at an easy pace. This morning is different though, the muscles are already feeling primed for a good run and there is no wall-pushing for Sherry or myself. Midway through the sky opens up and a torrential downpour creates a memorable experience of sloshing shoes and rain running off of us. No hydroplaning, all is good, and we finish up with big smiles. A break in rain inspires us to drive up to the ski area for the views where we hang out for awhile and shoot the breeze. This mountain offers ziplining and has a healthy crowd of downhill Mt. bikers. Maybe next visit. Another good day has gone by.
A great way to cool down during a run!! :)
