A Beautiful Day for a Run!

We're enjoying spring-like weather here in Fort Worth, and today was absolutely beautiful. I even left work early to be able to run outside before it got dark. I've only been running on the treadmill, so this was a real treat; but there were some things I forgot:

- Spring-like weather means wind, lots of it

- Outdoors means hills; my calves may need more work than the treadmill offers

- Outdoors and spring-like weather also means bugs; I think I swallowed one

I felt great when I was done. This was one of those runs that makes you a believer in the magic of endorphins. I was goofily dancing in the kitchen while fixing dinner; my wife and younger daughter just gawked and shook their heads.

I'm really excited about the Cowtown 5K. I think it's time for a PR (which, in my case, won't be tough to set, but that's okay; it'll be a PR).
