Running

Ran steady, felt good, and happy to get it done. Supposed to be some record heat in AZ this week which makes getting it done early so important. At 89 degrees at 6:00am it felt good and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Today’s run was a little slower, it’s Sunday…rest day, so just listened to my book and let my legs go however fast they wanted to go. It really is a privilege to be able to run and thoroughly enjoy it. Having my health and the freedom to run when I want to just go run…

Today was a beautiful run and felt like a fresh new beginning. Isn’t that a great way to start each day? As a new beginning. A new day to learn, to give, to do better, and to be better. Yesterday is now a memory. It happened and now it is time to make the best…

Fitting the run in where I can. Yesterday was back on the treadmill. Today was out on dirt trails through the desert with some cloud cover. It was a beautiful morning followed by a chai latte by the pool. Life is good!

I wasn’t really feeling it this morning and thought I would just do a nice slow run to finish out the week. Turns out my body felt better than my brain (mentally just wiped out this week). Ran at an average 9:12 min/mi and the second and third mile average was under 9:00 min/mi which…
