Don't it get you moving?


Winding down the school year, lots of teaching, making up for those who walked out. My love departs this weekend, on a work trip (and side vacation) and she will be gone for two weeks. Have we ever been apart so long?

Duration: 26:50
Pace: 8:39

The past several days have been hot! Today, it is cool. And I don't care for cool.

Route: Forest Hill Loop
Temperature: 51°
Climate: light rain

I feel a bit aimless on day's like today, like I didn't want to run because it was cool. But it wasn't that cool, and the rain was very light. And I chose a bpm list, one which would keep me moving, just the right speed. And I ran back-to-back nine minute miles, which is just fine. Better than fine.

I fret over gaining weight. I must admit, I am also afraid of having chest pains (I have never had chest pains) and yet, here I am, running every other day and I feel great. What am I so worried about?

Fourteen years ago today, I ran my second marathon, and the first when I broke four hours. That day was too hot, too. Nothing is perfect.
