Jibber Jabber Run

Joy here...Yesterday's run was just an easy 25 minute run to turn our legs after Tuesday's tempo run.  Today was scheduled as an easy 15km run; however, it was sprinkling rain outside and The Man is feeling a bit under the weather, so we opted for an easy 9km run instead.  We took it as an opportunity to simply run and chat with each other.  It was our jibber jabber hour.  We talked about our days, our future plans, our goals, our aspirations, our life together...in short, it was one of those conversations that forms the backbone of any good relationship, and we were just having that sort of chat while running easily along the canal.

Who would have thought to look for love and romance while completing a mundane run as part of a 1/2 marathon training plan?  I sure didn't.  I can tell you that I certainly didn't expect to feel like I was out on a date with my hubby while I was running in the drizzling rain, with aching knees, and my hair slicked back in a sweaty ponytail.  I guess that's what's special about love, it can jump up and surprise you when you least expect it.

So here are today's run stats:

Ran for a total of 51:23:28 for 9kms with an average pace of 5:45min/km.

But today's run just happened to be so much more than those mere numbers can articulate.  

Over and out,

Joy
