2.16 miles in 16'41"

i looked outside and saw the rain. "at last!" i shouted. "i can use kevin mcd's word!" what is this word i have longed to use? waz (or perhaps wazz) is the word! now the rain that's falling here is a gentle sprinkle so it probably doesn't qualify as a true waz, but i'm going to say it anyway. "it was wazzing when i went out to run at noon!" that felt good.

the run felt good too. i walked down my driveway and started running and my legs responded amazingly. they just did what i told them to do, so this workout was fast. (it even made my top five fastest workouts on dailymile!)

you can't tell it by the route map, but this was a bunch of loops that got smaller and smaller as the run went on. i ran a block north from my house and then headed west to the farthest paved street and turned south. i ran two blocks south and then turned east again. when i got a block from home, i turned north two blocks then west to the next closest street, two block south, etc., etc. etc. i did this until the final loop was just a block west to main and back south two blocks. from there i ran back home.

sure wish every run felt like this. it was awesome!
