I'm not running very fast. I'm not running particularly far.
But, when I had to miss a couple runs this week, I got that feeling... aching... for a run.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, it's a nervous, anxious, firm request from your body, "Please, please get a run in. Soon."
It's a sure sign that your running has turned from drudgery, to habit. And I mean "habit" in the sense of an addiction. A good addiction. It's your body and mind craving what they know is good for for them.
I haven't had that deep craving for a run in a very long time. The recipe, apparently, is about 7 weeks of a rock solid schedule. For me, it was 21 runs... Tu, Th, Su... some ok, some horrible, none brilliant.
But performance isn't the thing.
The thing is returning to running... for real.
Good running,
Doug
