Not because it was long, or fast or complete - I only made 2 of the 7 hills before realising a grave administrative error, finding myself off-route and retracing my steps home - via a muddy trail and this photo...
Because I enjoyed it and it was at my pace. As the first run in some time, first of many (heard that before?), it did what I wanted of it.
Got me back on track.
Left me in a state where I am able to ride to work today and swim tonight.
Gave me hope.
