"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -Steve Prefontaine

Night Run

Sometimes you just need a way to let off steam. Tonight, that was a night run. College campuses are really awesome sometimes. You can almost completely avoid roads and because it's late but not too late, it's really a quiet time to just settle into a groove.

I kicked off Day 2 of Week 1 of Couch to 5k dressed in bright colors and headed out before 8 p.m. (It can just barely be classified as a night run.) I must say, I'm surprised.

My body remembers all the conditioning I did over the summer. I was able to last the whole work out no problem. I even changed the last 1.5 minute walk into a 0.5 minute walk and a full minute jog THEN the 5 minute cool down. It felt good to be out and I can't wait and see how I do for Day 3.
