Running with joy 800s

This morning I was just so happy to be able to breathe normally, and it sure made running feel easy.  I headed out early again to get my pre-warm-up warm-up in, and that was good.  My legs feel great.  Then I ran with the group over to AHS for some 800s.  Gilbert said not to go crazy or anything, and he told me I should only do six and at about 3 minutes per interval.  It really felt good.  I felt like I could have just kept going.  He told me I could run faster on the last one, and I did, and that was the best-feeling one all day.  I wanted to go do it again, but he said I was done.  My times were: 3:03, 3:02, 2:59, 3:00, 3:00, 2:42.  I did the cool-down run back and then a few balance drills, and that was it for the day.  I really had fun out there, and my heart rate was so low today from the warm-up through the cool-down I could hardly believe when I looked at the results.  That whole being able to breathe must make a huge difference!
