It felt so good to enjoy the air conditioning after such an exhausting day.
About a year ago, my husband and I saw that there was a marathon going on in our city. We talked about how hard it was to imagine running that far all at once. The more we talked about it, the more we realized that we wanted to challenge ourselves to give it a try. We set up a plan to work up to the distance and endurance needed to finish the race. We spent all year preparing, and finally, the day of the marathon arrived this past weekend. While it is still only Spring, the weather was unseasonably warm on the day of the race. We ran together and kept the paces we had set. At the end of the run, we were both sunburned and sweaty. We went home and stretched out on the couch. We turned on our air conditioning for the first time since last summer and just let it blast. It felt so good to enjoy the air conditioning after such an exhausting day. We had no complications running our air conditioning for the first time that season, as we had had it serviced just a few weeks prior. We spent the rest of the day watching movies and eating pizza with the air conditioning running. While I really enjoyed running in the marathon, I definitely think once was enough for me. I had more fun cooling down after than I did in the actual run.
