Today I ran my second 6-mile run in over a year. It seemed a bit harder than the first one a week ago. My motivation is waning, which I think is part of the problem. I've been running by myself for two weeks now. Maybe this week I'll call sweet Gina up and see if she'll be a sport and keep me company one day. My shin did not bother me this morning which was a huge relief. At one point I thought my knee had taken a blow, but gratefully that pain quickly went away. I just did a solid 6 today instead of the 6.4 I did last week to finish the loop. I ran for 61 minutes. And reminded myself that 6 miles wasn't even half of what I will be running on November 20th. Sigh. I've got a long ways to go. But I'm determined to get there!
I felt so dirty from my run this morning and doctoring cows and tagging calves right after that I had to take a shower as soon as those two chores were done, only to go right back to the barn for more work. I felt soooo Dirty. And what do you know, the prodigal son returned to get a little dirty himself. I was so proud of my nephew when he asked his dad how come he showed up in the afternoon when farm chores were done in the morning :) Ahhh.... bring them up right :)
And have a little fun while you're at it.
And then we relaxed....
And relaxed s'more :)
