5.3 miles this morning 7:00AM with our son. It was twenty degrees. He learned 2 lessons. Lesson #1: When he owns a home he is going to shovel his sidewalk for people. Lesson #2: Always go to the bathroom before you leave the house for a long run.
4.7 miles this afternoon. This is one of those days that I don't necessarily like myself. No particular reason . . . .just a little sick of "me." So instead of sulking, making excuses etc . . . I left my house at 3:45 and let the cold wind beat the hell out of me for almost 5 miles. The first 2.5 miles were down wind but I KNEW what was going to be in front of me when I turned around!
I started running about 7 years ago when I had my heart broken. Running was the only thing that made the rest of my body feel as bad as my heart did. Now . . . I sometimes still use running for the same reason. If I don't like myself, like a situation, a feeling etc . . . I will RUN HARD for an extended period of time. Interesting how the cob webs seem to get shaken around and clarity comes into focus . . .the only problem is my hamstrings usually suffer . . .like they are now.
This is it . . .
