I just felt like running.....

Okay so just because of my name I get teased about the Forrest Gump "run Forrest, run" and yes my husband I are just like peas and carrots. The jokes get even worse when people discover that I am a runner. Or at least trying to be.

I love to run. Once I get going and I'm in my zone there's nothing else like it. Some of the best runs I've had have been on misty moonlit nights with my dogs, through the woods near my grandmother's house in her tiny Manitoba town, and along the beach in Kelowna.

Last night I had a great run on the treadmill. I did 10km for the first time in a long time. It felt great. I was tired by the end but also felt like I could have gone longer. I now feel confident that I can run a 10km to start out the road race year instead of just 5km.
