A Natural Feeling

It is an amazing feeling when your running feels like a natural part of you. If feel in tune with your body. Your breathing is good. You feel relaxed. That was my experience during my 3 mile run today. With temps hovering around 0, I was on the treadmill. I felt great.

My body felt like it is was like it's old self, before all the injuries. My breathing was calm, and not labored. My heart rate went up gradually. My first mile my average was 135 bpm. The second mile - 145 bpm. On the last mile I averaged 156 bpm. Nothing felt hard or difficult about this run.

Yesterday's cross training was a 10 mile bike ride at the gym. Felt good.

So in the early stages training is going well.

I ran into my former marathon coach...he has finally qualified for Boston, and will run it in 2010. Kudos to Scott!
