Love it.

One day of cross-training and two runs in: I remember why I love running. Besides having totally cut thighs, which is awesome.

I love running because there is absolutely no way to not feel like a golden god when you've just met some sort of personal goal--whether it's running a faster mile time, actually completing a workout at any speed on a tough day, or running farther than you ever have before. No high-five needed--other peoples' approval is immaterial.
