One nice side effect of pregnancy is that you step back and savor the small things. One big cup of coffee that lasts all morning instead of the four absent-mindedly sucked down. A few sips of Diet Coke instead of a steady flow. Half a glass of chilled pinot instead of, well, never mind. Naps. Ankles. And the enjoyment of a nice, slow jog.
Fresh off my triumphant continuous 3/4-miler on Sunday, I hit the one-mile lake loop on the way to work yesterday. It was cloudy and cool and the universe acknowledged me by planting on the trail a friend I had just recently reached out to after a several year absence, but had yet to meet up with.
After a one-lap warm-up, I did an easy mile. It was exactly right. And just enough to feel a little less stressed yesterday (which really came in handy later) and a little sore today. Ahhh...

Nice. I like a little soreness. Makes me feel like an active member of the universe.
