More of a walk than a run

I have been dealing with allergies/a cold for a couple of days, so I decided not to push myself to really run today. Instead I threw on my VFFs, hung my camera across my body, left the Sansa at home and went out to just enjoy myself for an hour. It might not have done anything for my cardio fitness, but that's okay with me.













I really seriously don't think I can ever go back to all pavement-running. There's no street that can feed my soul like a morning in the woods does.

Its so easy to get caught up in race training and forget about being a runner. Its great to take time from the training grind and slow down, look around and enjoy the scenery. Being fit enough to get out and experience those special places is something to cherish. Running is great for cardio, but workouts like those are great for your soul. We should all enjoy more runs like that.
