I ran yesterday and today after a couple weeks off due to vacation and vacation "recovery." We did a lot of strenuous hiking on vacation, so I wasn't worried about having lost any fitness. Still, I was pleasantly surprised to feel pretty good during both runs. It was nearly ideal weather for it. I even added a bit of distance today (like maybe a half mile ).

I'm finding myself looking forward to my runs more than my rides. Like today. DH wanted to go for a ride, but I just didn't feel like it. But as soon as I poo pooed the ride, I grabbed my running shoes and was out the door. Admittedly, riding has felt like more of a chore for a while, but it makes me sad that I feel that way. By the time I gear up, I could have been half way done with a run. Anybody else feel that way sometimes? I know some of you are primarily runners anyway....

One other bit of good news is that I've dropped a couple of pounds since I started running. It wasn't an official part of my goal, as I was only up a couple of pounds as it was, but I am a bit happier with my overall appearance having added the running, a toning class at work and a second weekly yoga class to my routine. I'm seeing a bit of muscle definition again.
