"Looking good! Like a wet rat, but good!"

Words of encouragement from K. last night as I finished up the final mile of a four mile progression run (start slow, build speed in the middle, finish fast). I did a super easy three for warm up, and a super easy one for cool down. Two months ago eight was a recovery run, two weeks ago it was a dream. Funny how it goes.

I feel good, and hope that with a couple of rest days and yoga under my belt I'll be ready for a run uptown under a canopy of live oak on St. Charles Avenue while we're in NOLA.

And when I get back, I start a job, wheee! I see bridges in my future.
