1-21-2012 Long Run Magic

Something happens between the beginning and end of a long run.  You feel it more if you start out not feeling up to the task of running or even feeling like doing much of anything at all.  But something opens up, whether it is all the fresh air, a good conversation or extra blood flowing to the brain making you see things more clearly.   There is a magic that happens which I have felt many times.  Sometimes it is the one thought that gets me started on a run - to never underestimate the power of long run magic.
