I have no idea why some things happen while running.
Today I decided to do a lunch time run since I am going to be out for the evening again. My PLAN was to make it a nice easy run, just something to get some miles in and stay ahead of the pace bunny for today. In view of that, I didn't fully bother to change into my running gear, counting on the fact I was going to go as such a slow place that street clothes would work.
As I started out on my run, it quickly became evident that I was running without much effort. In fact, I was running quite speedily without much effort. My immediate thought was to slow down and pace myself, but the feeling of this new speed was SO nice that I kept pushing along. The result was the fastest speed for 3 miles that I had run since last March.
My question is: "Why?" Why does it happen that suddenly and without warning, a good run comes along like this? I think it is one of those times when you don't try to understand, but simply enjoy the fact that it happened.
Three miles today, which gives me a total of 108.1 miles for the year.
The 1,000 mile pace bunny is at 104.12 miles.
The 500 mile pace bunny is at 52.06 miles.

Great job, those types of runs are always a good surprise!
Thanks. You are absolutely right about that. It is always a "bonus" when a run goes better than expected.
Thanks.
