I blazed the trail yesterday with my fastest 9-mile run to date....and man did it feel great! It started to rain during the last few miles which gave me that "Rocky Balboa" - like feeling. Well, I wasn't exactly carrying logs in the snow, but I experienced a "runner's high" as I enjoyed being out in the element  I paused a couple times during the run to snap a few pictures.

So, despite all the grueling runs required in preparation for the marathon, be sure to enjoy the moments along the way!
