in step

In step with Ruth's post...

I will throw in my concurrence. Not all runs are created equal. Here are some of mine:

• The "I wish I'd worn gloves" run
• The "This shirt/these shorts ride(s) up" run
• The "oops, I forgot to pick up my kid from soccer" run
• The "I can't believe that dog just jumped up and licked the TOP of my head" run
• The "carry a big stick" run
• The "mud is heavy when layered to the bottoms of my shoes" run
• The "slip and slide" run (icy)
• The "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" run
• The "too much water" run

And then there are these:

• The "time flies too fast" run
• The "I could run another couple miles" run
• The "destresser" run
• The "I can talk to you now" run
• The "Figuring it all out" run
• The "new shoes" run
• The "quiet" run
• The "unwind" run

But if they were all created equal, the second list wouldn't get enough applause. I ran a "6 miles never felt so good" run on Sunday, lifted weights yesterday, ran an "I can do one more" set of sprints today, then yoga.
