Happiness is a 12km run in light rain where you start out conservatively because you don't know how you will go, you get to 7km and the body feedback is not so great but you push on and magically the last 4km's get progressively better and better culminating in a 4.47 last km (which is gentle uphill all the way).
That might not impress the racing snakes out there too much but for moi it is a great indication 6 weeks out from a half marathon that I'm well and truly on track for my preparation *touching every bit of wood I can find*.
I didn't finish work till 9:00pm last night which put the kybosh on training but meant I could escape today at 3:00pm guilt free and head home and do todays run. Obviously the extra recovery through not training last night contributed to such a happy run this arvo.

Touch wood, cross everything and say a little prayer to the running gods :) What a great way to finish a 12 km... good practice for the race start slow and fly home for a big finish!! I am geting itchy feet!!
Well I'm impressed. And I'm sure those racing snakes would be impressed with that fast finish.
Nice :-)
Times like that remind me (particularly when battling injuries) why I run in the first place.
Thank you for your words of wisdom. I truly appreciate it.

Hey 2P, great run. Whatever the run, whatever the time, whatever the distance...if it makes you feel happy, then it is a great run in my book. Light rain is sensational, and getting faster towards the end always gives a great buzz. I appreciate your recent comments on my blog, but been a bit busy to reciprocate, sorry.
Steve
