Rest day...

For the kitten, at least.

I just went for my first run in over a month.

The Great Disappointment of the 2009 New York Marathon really took the wind out of my sails, and I told myself I wouldn't start running again until running sounded fun.

I ran today, just to run. I ran down Westcliff and around the Lane, dodging strollers and bikes; chasing birds and watching surfers and kites and kids and dogs. I ran home along the Bethany Curve trail, stomping and tromping in the mud and the sand and the grass.

Oh bliss. It.felt.great.

3.25 miles at 8:35 min/miles.
