I needed this day.

Today was a perfect spring day. The sky was bright blue and the sun was shining. I ran my regular 5 km with Baci but slower than usual hoping that I would do between 15 and 18 km today.

I felt strong and ran easily. No aches or pains and most importantly, I ran happy. I really felt back to myself again: loving running and listening to music.  I felt light on my feet and enjoyed the run.

I feel that I have shaken off the shock and sadness of last week's attack.
Maybe because the two men were caught.
Maybe because I recognize that the bombings did not personally attack me.
Maybe because other people closer to home need my focus.
Maybe I just needed time.

Whatever the reason, I'm in a good head space today. I ran 17 km and I feel good.
I am where I am supposed to be, doing what I am supposed to be doing.
