so today i was feeling rather blah--dark and cold and rainy outside which means no run in the park like i wanted today. so instead of going home to my very plain jane treadmill at home i decided i would at least treat myself to the really nice treadmills at the wellness center in town. so i head over after work and jump on a treadmill, program in my 40 min run with intervals and get to work. about 5 minutes in an older man jumps on the treadmill beside me and starts walking. once i hit the cooldown he looks over and says 'wow, you MUST be a runner!' i had a huge grin and told him, yes, yes i am a runner. it felt amazing to have someone actually think of me as a runner! :) definitely brightened my day.
