Today my wings came back and it has been so long since I felt them.

I ran the Mercer Slough this morning and it was wonderfully cool with a light drizzle coming down. I added an extra out and back to make the run over an hour. During one stretch of the run, I started to fly. I checked my breathing and HR (140) and realized that my gait was smooth and it felt effortless but at the same time, I had some speed. When I ran that stretch last week, I thought "I don't remember this being uphill...".

But this week, it just felt wonderful -- perhaps I am recovering :)
