When you don't run for a bit, you miss it. And when your first run back is a treadmill run, you appreciate the run but wish it was taking place outdoors. But then, when you finally get that coveted outdoor run, you don't just appreciate it, you fall in love all over again.
With every step of my 5-miler yesterday I did just that.
Running, I love you. Running, I love you. Running, I love you.
Does it ever get old? Does running ever stop wanting to hear how loved it is? Dunno. And don't plan to find out.
All I know is that my run rocked, although it was nothing special. It was just my first outdoor run after my brief time off and I loved it.
Running, I love you. Running, I love you. Running, I love you.
In other news, my breakfast giveaway is going on over here.
Have a great week, everyone! Run on!

I am new to your blog and I love it. I can't wait for my first outdoor run either. OK, we've been spending a lot of time outdoors skiing but now that we are ready to go home, I can't wait for my morning run tomorrow. And since we've been at altitude I am hoping to reap benefits of increased red blood count. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy running.

There is NOTHING like getting back on the road.
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting back to the great out doors!
ReplyDeleteAwww yay! Glad you had such a fantastic run outside! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to get outside! I've been hitting the track or treadmill for my last few runs and it isn't the same!
ReplyDeleteYipppeeee for outdoor running!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for an outdoor run where sweat is the only dirt I wear... the slushy snow mix stink!
ReplyDeleteYes, that first outside run back after a break is the BEST!
ReplyDeleteRunning outside is the best!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why vacations or even illness is a good thing! We take a break from our regular routine and when we get back to it, we fall in love all over again. So glad you made it outside again, and that it was so perfect. :-)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. Great Post Happy Runner. Being outside does make for a happier runner huh? Take care
ReplyDeleteI totally felt that way the other day too! I cannot wait until the spring time!
ReplyDeleteI totally get this!!! Outside running is love <3
ReplyDeleteCongrats to getting back out on the road!!!! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeletethe treadmill really makes me appreciate the outdoor run. i'm glad you got back out there...and loved every minute of it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a wonderful outdoor run!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt about it, outdoor runs are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI'll add one more - outdoor runs when it's actually WARM ! Woo Hoo !!
I completely agree! I love running outdoors.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Outdoor runs are the best which is why I put up with cold cold temps!
ReplyDeleteYou make me feel grateful for all that I have and can do outside...especially running! Thanks for that today!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed an outdoor run this weekend, and like you, fell in love all over again :) Cute post!
ReplyDeleteI was able to do my 10-miler outside on Saturday and it was WONDERFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it any better... :0)
ReplyDeleteGenial fill someone in on and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you seeking your information.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your relay!
ReplyDeleteI SO know what you mean. For me, it was the chance to do an outside, no pace goal 9 miler for the first time in a LONG time (since this half training has been all about pacepacepace). I was just loving being outside in the 60 degree weather, running really slow and feeling great. I'm looking forward to spring so we have that weather all the time...
Running outside really is the best! I cant wait till it starts to not snow everyday!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you're talking about. It's supposed to be nice this week, and I'm dying ot get outside.
ReplyDeletei know exactly what you are talking about! guess that's another reason to appreciate the treadmill - makes you love "real" running even more :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a good, non-snowy, non-cruddy run since around November of last year. I am really anxious to do it!!
ReplyDeleteHi There! I hope you don't mind but I found your blog on Tall Mom's 1000 club... I noticed you're from Wynantskill! I'm originally from East Greenbush (now in Cincinnati) and my mom grew up in Wynantskill!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it freezing there? Since I moved away I can't imagine running in the cold northeast... it hurts to think about!!!
Happy Running!
