Sure, I run most mornings before the world is awake, but it is nothing like my long runs on Sunday. For some reason everything feels different and new when I head out for my long training run. Today's run was no different, and as I was running through the fog covered valleys and watched as the fog hovered just above my head as to make clear path for me on the trail I was running. I felt lucky to be alive and thankful for the ability to be able to enjoy my world in this manner. A year ago I would have scoffed at anyone who was doing what I am doing now, but now I can't imagine my Sunday starting any other way.
In fact, I look forward to my long runs every week, and am sad when they are over. Often I am a little jealous of those who get to run in wonderfully wooded and scenic areas of the world. Thinking to myself that it would be awesome to run someplace like that, but then I go for my long run and realize that the things I see on my run are equally beautiful as those seen in others pictures. I don't know what it is about long runs that make them so enjoyable, but I am glad that they are.
