Now, it was a dreary, rainy, drizzly, muddy, squelch-fest kind of miserable run, but before noon, I could feel myself getting all ready for getting out there. I even got all geared up before my last online meeting ahead of lunchtime (planning to keep video off 🤣) , just so I could head out the moment when that meeting came to an end.
I love my work, but boy is that urge to head out for a slow delicious (and at the same time squelchy, muddy, drizzly, and rainy) run strong.
And after the halfway point it gets even better. Still squelchy but now my legs are warm, my gloves are back in my pocket, my zombies murr in my ears and then my music list comes on, giving me that desirable bounce!
Ohh, that bounce, where my steps suddenly become jaunty, my posture more upright, my breath more rhythmic and my hands and arms do that conductor thing, their own kind of yoga ,- just because. That’s my bounce that I love.
And the amount of bounce changes, so I wonder, where is my bounce meter? Oh Runkeepers and Stravas, Apple Health and MapMyRuns, can’t you add a bounce metric to your running stats?
Have some happy bouncing runs even if in squelchy conditions!
