Moonlight Mile

I saw a post on FB the other day about how great night running is.  I have gone a couple of times, years ago. And I did run a 5 K on Halloween at night, through a cemetary too,by the way,  I really liked it.  Summer nights are so wonderful.  I love sitting out on our deck enjoying every second of the approaching twilight and into the full of night.  And after reading that post I really wanted to put a great run into the mix.  IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!  I enjoyed it so much!!!  Night running will become part of my running schedule from now on..  It was nice and cool.  It was peacefull.  My pup loved it!!  Yep, I will go again definately!!!

Move Along. Move Along.

Today's run was, without a doubt, my slowest ever!  My feet felt like concrete blocks that just would not pick up and go.  I almost turned around and went back home.  But I didn't.  I kept going.  I was still burning calories, building endurance, strengthening my legs, as well as my resolve to keep moving forward.  Running is mental every bit as it is physical. Had I turned around it would have bugged me all day that I didn't finish but now I can relax and feel accomplished and its just the first thing on my day's "To do list" that gets checked off, and I just love checkin' off things on my list!!!!  Not only do I feel stronger physically but mentally too.  There just isnt ever a reason to stop moving forward and complete the run I've set out to do.
