I just had a great run. I love those ones in which you feel great and everything seems easy. I did a 17K run. I ran to a set of stairs up the Hamilton escarpment. I did the stairs five times (up and down counting as once) and then ran back. On the way back it is a long incline, and it's always hard to make it all the way up, but I did it! I don't know if it's a runner's high or what, but at one point I felt like something was moving me along instead of me dragging my body along (which I have definitely felt on many occasions). I don't know if it's my body taking over - ignoring the negative talk and just doing it because it has done it before, or if it's my mind taking over. Whatever happens, it feels amazing.
The Escarpment Stairs are such a great workout, and today in Hamilton all the waterfalls were amazing because of the heavy rains all night. I saw waterfalls where I've never seen them before, and they were beautiful. Climbing the stairs is so hard (gravity can really suck) but I was rewarded with views of a flowing waterfall right at the top, going all the way down. Love it!
