this weekend the sun decided to come out and play and i've been waiting for some great running weather so i decided to go out for a run on saturday. ran the 4.5 miles of lake merced the rare daly city sun and had such a good time just being out there soaking it all in.
you see...i HATE running on a treadmill. i can't stand the monotony of it. it's just so boring to me. yes even with a tv or my ipod on. i always say, i'd rather run a marathon than be on a treadmill for 20 mins. but, the rare times that i am on a treadmill, force myself through it for 30min. i can't take much more than that.
sooo the sun came out and so did i. here are a few things that i like to soak in while running outside
-people watching...i'm a big people watcher as it is, so i can't help but do this anyway.
-the sounds of the conversations pass me by just makes me feel alive
-the sounds of the fast person coming up behind me lol
-smiling at the elderly that are still out and being active (i wanna be like that when i'm old too)
-watching the dogs playfully running along their owners
-the gun shots at the rod & gun club let's me know i'm more than half way done
-the unexpected cool breeze
-slowing down you speed ever so slightly in the shade b/c it's much cooler there
-hearing the people practicing in their dragon boats
-the "go team" camaraderie even though you don't know that person
-the feeling of accomplishment when you beat your time again and AGAIN!!
