Go the Distance

Saturday's are generally my longest run of the week. I will run 7-ish miles, swing back by the house for a bathroom/water break, and then go another 4-6 miles. I will go out one direction to a far point that I have run a hundred times and then squiggle through the streets the opposite direction enjoying the flowers, trees, and architecture. I like the feeling of tiredness at the end. I'm not exhausted so I usually putter around the yard for a few minutes so I can cool down. My Saturday run makes me feel like a real runner and not just a jogger impersonating a runner.
