Miles and Puddles


Hey Jen!
  I just wanted to check in and tell you about my day!  I'm in Lenox, MA this week staying with a student of mine from last year and her sister while their parents are out of town. I set my alarm for 6am today, to get up and make a good breakfast for the girls before school. I woke up to pouring rain and instantly knew I had to go for a run once I dropped tbe girls off at school. I'm not sure what it is about the rain, but I am so motivated, especially to run when it rains. Strangely, a sunny day does nothing for me. This town is so beautiful, even when it's grey and wet. I haven't been able to go over 3 miles since June because of my knee, but today I set out knowing I could do more.  I ran 5 miles and didn't want to stop!  I was running through puddles and leaves were falling all around me- it was magical. I feel like myself again!!  A slower version of me (hey, i'm out of practice) but still like me!  

So now, tell me, how is everything?  Were you able to get back on track after your vaykay in Belgium?  How does it feel to be a runner again?!  I'm so proud and excited for you!  Now we can chat all about gear and share inspo quotes!  

Looking forward to your update!
Xoxo
