I'll add in one more--perfect weather--no rain, not too hot, not too cold, a bit of warm sunshine. It's great when it all falls into place!misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770104768123714471.post-80349349266177163742013-03-11T09:37:46.428-07:002013-03-11T09:37:46.428-07:00So happy for you and your great run!

I mean, once we have learned when our bodies are simply whining, and when they are really saying "stop or Im going to totally blow up and your marathon season will end now", why do we keep pushing? We ask for trouble. It's good to know when to just stop; but Im so glad you had a good run!

Nature has its perks and that is one of them. Running with a posse is great but you have to be careful not to run someone else's pace, particularly if its too fast. Most my running pals always want to push the envelop too much!

If I did I would be very rich but I think it's just one of those things, every now and then the body just works perfectly and boy you have better not waste those days on a sort recovery day.
