Burn

     I managed another 10 miler but my right forefoot still starts burning. It is getting to be quite uncomfortable. I think it could possibly be my socks? So I am going to order some new ones and see if that helps. Plus I'll do a little researching and see what might be the problem. Otherwise I am in good condition! Hope you are running well! Peace!

Fall fast

   Wow! 65 degrees+light rain+northwest breeze=Faster!! Summertime training always proves itself in the fall! Today I ran a 10 miler in 1:43.17. That is truly spectacular for this old feller! My last 5 miles were all under 10's so I ran strong! Almost like the old days!
   I am thinking this new program of 10 milers is paying off! My right foot didn't burn as bad today either. Hope you are running well! Peace!

Water Bugs

    So, the conservation agents are out in full force today! Three trucks...what's up I wonder? They are catching water bugs! This will give indications of stream health. If people would stop driving their 4 wheelers through the stream it might help!?
    Well I was tired this morning, thinking I'd see what my body felt like doing.  At about 2 miles I decided to head on home and settle for a three miler....too tired....suddenly I hit a dissociative state and wound up running my 10 miler!! I am glad!! Hope you are well!! Peace!

Reptile pile!

     It may be Fall but the snakes are very active! Saw a very large Copperhead....smashed by a car! Saw a pigmy Rattler and a green snake. Man it's crazy out there! Sadly lots of meanness, too. A form of meanness is inattentiveness. When we become so preoccupied with our social life (cell phone) we can't watch the road!! AARRGGG!
    7 miles today. Finished with a 30 mile week! Hope all is well with you!! Peace!

Last day....

   So Summer is officially over tomorrow....bummer. I did manage a mid afternoon run in the 90 degree temps....wonderful!!! Oh Summer how I will miss you! 6 miler today. Hope you are well! Peace!

Irresistable

   I'm supposed to take the day off after 10 or more milers but I could not resist the call of Summer! As you know and see, Summer is gasping its last breath! Oh how I will miss you Summertime!
   But today I got to run in the 90ish, sunshine, humidity....oh how delightful! 4 miles. Feelin' fine! Hope you are well! Peace!

Endeavor to persevere

    My all time favorite movie is "The outlaw Josie Wales." In the movie one of Josie's compatriots states, "we must endeavor to persevere!"
    As a Runner this must be our theme! Running produces fitness and well being and this condition has to be maintained. Fitness can be lost quickly! True Runners, those eternally infected with the running "gene". Will never quit!
    I had to listen to my body and take yesterday off. So I endeavored to persevere today and ran a 10 miler!!! Hope you are well! Peace!!
