W6D2 - Along the Strand



A pleasant evening and a nice run along Sandymount Strand. An out and back run, along the Coastal Path, with the evening sun bringing out a plethora of runners and walkers. It's always encouraging to see others out running, whether they be sprinting along, panting hard, or jogging along gently listening to their i-pods.

For me it was a 5 mile run at sub 8 minute pace. A flat run with only two roads to cross, a nice steady pace, and a simple enjoyment of a run. Looking back over the last few months, it is so good to be able to write that - enjoyment. Sometimes when we run, it's a hardship. We drag ourselves out because we know we have to - Two months ago, it hurt to run 3 miles, never mind 5. Tonight, it was enjoyable, pleasant, easy - long may these runs continue.
