Heart Rate Monitor...Nope, Nada, Not today!

Today I believe I had the best run I have had in a long time. I knew it would be good even before I got started. Today I was running outside for the first time in a long time. So long that I can't remember or care too. The temperature got as high as 50 today and with the sun shining made for a great run.

Today's run was going to be all about getting outside and enjoying myself. I had awesome music blaring on my Ipod Shuffle, the same music I use for teaching my spin class. Most of it at a 140 bpm, so pretty fast. I felt like my legs needed to open up and just run so I used my tempo ride music just for that. As the tempo went up my legs ran a little faster. I even sang and didn't care who heard me, of course if they did I must mention that I have the voice of an angel.......an angel being bludgeoned to death.

Maybe it's the endorphins talking or maybe it's because I am so happy to see and feel the warmer temperatures that we are experiencing. It's been a long winter and I am ready for Spring. Yippee!

Happy Days to everyone!
