Tuesday, 11/4/08

Today I ran 3 miles untimed.

Tonight's run was terrific except for my new shoes. I'm still trying to figure out how to lace them. They came untied twice during the run. Grrr....

But, I felt terrific tonight. At one point, I felt so relaxed and strong that on a straightaway I tried closing my eyes for about ten seconds. It was a really neat and calming experience, and one I might try on my next long run to just focus and center myself.

Daylight Savings Time has of course completely changed my running experience at night, since now there's virtually no way to run during daylight. I think I'm going to try and switch to running in the mornings pretty soon, just so I can practice running in an environment that's closer to what I'll be running in during the marathon.

Overall, great run, I'll figure out the shoes, and when I finished my run and walked in the house, Obama had been elected president! Crazy cool!
