I had one of those runs this morning. The most rarest of the rares, but one of the reasons we all keep coming back...
THE UTOPIA RUN!
I thought I was pushing it because I swear it was 90 degrees at 9am.
But I ran.
And I loved it.
It was warm - I was in my favorite shorts and tank.
There were lots of people to watch (bathing suits, mullets and muffins galore).
My iPod (which usually has lame songs on it) all of a sudden had the best mix ever.
I didn't feel any body parts hurting.
I had energy.
My mind was blank.
And as I running I thought to myself "there is really nothing else I would rather be doing right now!"
And when I was done, I put on my bikini and laid on the beach.

I LOVE this kind of run!! Thank God we are runners!
I'm also a huge fan of mullet watching. Comedy gold!
Hope the trip is wonderful...can't wait to hear all about it...and hoping for some pics. Healing the heart takes time, it sucks, but its true.
So glad your run was awesome!!
Congratulations on achieving running bliss ... I hope to do the same again someday. :-)
those are the best runs! I certainly didn't have that yesterday (although no real complaints, I hit 10 miles for the first time).
Have fun!

Aww I am glad you had such a good run. I ran on Saturday at the Mile Square park and almost died from the heat. It was 91-93 degrees during it. I was not prepared. Hahah. Next time I run it will definitely be before 9am if it is expected to be that hot. Geesh. haha.
Great job on your run - especially with the heat! It has been pretty hot here in Cali this weekend.
I was *supposed* to do 8 miles today as well, but it didn't really work out. Oh well, I'll get it next time.
Have fun in Puerto Rico with your sassy new dresses. ;)
I'm glad you could have such a great run (and time on the beach!) this weekend. Hooray!
Have a fabulous trip!

Nice 8, girlie. I'm glad you had a nice time with the girls. I hope the trip is fantastic. Take care, you.
Hoping you have a great trip and have ongoing karma!

Cool.
A long run, and then a nap on the beach. That truly sounds like utopia to me.
Well maybe I could also have a dip in the ocean, and a cocktail or two.
Enjoy your vacation!
What a beautiful sight! Glad you had a great run to start (or end) your week. Have a great trip to PR and take lots of pictures!
Awesome job ! Enjoy PR.
Sweetness!! Mullets?! Ahhh yes, what more could you ask for? :P
What a great run! Indeed, those types of runs keeps us coming back for more!
Have a great time (even though you're workng) in Puerto Rico
A run and a nap! Pinch me, I’m in heaven….. We had a spring snow with wind gust. Enjoy it while you can.
Sounds like an excellent day! I'm especially jealous of the bikini in the sun part....
Have an amazing time in PR, especially with those hot mama dresses!
There must have been something in the air (besides heat) because I had a "utopia" run right around the same time. Only mine's followed by a trip to the doctor, not the tropics. Enjoy Puerto Rico!
What a great way to send you on your way to PR. Glad to hear you had a wonderful weekend. Way to finish strong on the 8!
90 degrees and mullets? Is this running heaven...or hell?
Way to go. Send some of that sun my way. I'd be happy to split it with you.
Have a fantastic trip!!
Ha, before we know it... you'll be going all zen runner on us ;-).
Safe travels mate!
Oh I wish!
My hamstring is still sore. boohoo, looks like I'm going back to spin...
Nice run! Especially in such heat; I'd have melted.
Look who deserved that run! I envy you the heat - oh - and the beach! How wonderful is that?
Fab times on that run, gir.
Enjoy Puerto Rico!
Have a terrific trip!!
Have an awesome trip! Rockin' run!
