A breakthrough!

So I was on my way to the river yesterday for a run and realized I had forgotten my watch. I have been running timed intervals as part of my training and this at first was a wee bit disconcerting. "No worries" I told myself. "I'll just run until I feel I can't run any longer". This as it turned out was a brilliant strategy! I ran farther yesterday (by a good bit) than I have so far since I've been back to running and started training for the marathon. It's small progress measured in mile and a half intervals over about an hour, but man oh man did it feel fantastic! I walked away thinking to myself "Wow, I'm really back to running. I'm doing it."

I may forsake the watch for a while and just go with the flow until I can't run any further. Damn the distance, and damn the time. Just keep running and I'm going to get there.
