No bogged thoughts for 7 miles

I'm not complaining about the cool 61 degree spring like weather for the last Wednesday in June. It has been a while since I ran a 10k humpday run. Todaythe weather was right and the runners and walkers were already out in Southie ( Seaport business district, Castle Island, Carson Beach, M Street Beach)

I had a good stride going and at one point I heard a song I loved and I was running along the beach and I felt some kind of emotion. I'm not sure if it was relief/ release or being in " the moment" or feeling this song but I cried a bit.

Running for me is  mental and emotional. I was never in it for the weight loss or strength( added benefits that I now incorporate). At that moment I was in a peaceful good spot. I didn't have any worries or stress or bogged down thoughts. That is something to embrace and celebrate
