early afternoon run

Had a fabulous run this afternoon. I wore shorts, banking on the sun to keep me warm, and it did. It was just the perfect temperature so I could concentrate on my run and not cold air scratching my nasal passages or chapped hands (and in the summer, air too laden with moisture for breathing). My legs loved it, set free once again. I ran twice as far as usual, and would even sometimes laugh aloud at - goodness knows - because I felt good. Some sort of internal thawing.
