Time: 1:57:54
Distance: 12 Miles, outside

2 good runs this weekend. I guess more to the point was I felt strong on both days and I was surprised. Both saturday and sunday, when I woke, I felt tired still and not too motivated at all. And then shortly into the runs, I felt really good and my pace was good. Maybe some of my feelings are related to the distances being shorter...but I just felt refreshed in a sense. The temperatures were just about 50 degrees at the start both days. I definitely was having fun out there. On the route today, I deliberately went into an area that I had not been in a while and new I could see some changes in construction etc..
I saw a corner that had been re-vamped as a little sitting area with a bench and some new grass. On the wall nearby, there was some graffiti. The words were: HUG LIFE

I LOVE IT!

Soon, my feet with touch down on the trails of Maryland.
