Run Up A Goal

It started a heavy sprinkle about half an hour before my run this evening.  I wasn't sure what to expect for the weather.  So I ditched Pandora today just in case.  It was also very cool and I didn't have enough clothes.  I suspected that when I packed my bag this morning but I was running late so I didn't do anything about it.  I hope I don't catch a cold.  I haven't particularly felt well this week so I hope today's run doesn't make it worse.  Daddy always says it'll either cure you or kill you. 

Today I ran hard.  Running hard is really exhausting.  The 2.5 miles down the trail went pretty well as usual.  *Slight downhill*  I usually make it down 30 seconds ahead of my 10-minute mile pace.  Today, I made it down a full minute faster.  :)  As soon as I reached the turn around point there were two runners coming at me with their dog.  I.Did.Not.Want.Them.To.Pass.Me.  I ALwAYs get passed!  I'm a slow runner, yeah yeah.  But today, I was determined to not get passed by the two young people, about my age, with their dog.  I finished my 5 mile run in under 48 minutes.  That's at least 2 minutes faster than my norm.  Not a huge difference, but we must celebrate the small achievements in life. 

Today I spent a lot of my run thinking about a goal.  I need a goal.  I still don't have one.  It's like the lyric, "If you don't know where you're goin', you might end up somewhere else."  Right now, there is Nooooooo tell'n where I'm going to end up.  I will continue to think about this but I have decided I need goals soon.  Lots of goals, not just one.  You can never have too many goals.  And right now, I don't really have any.  Other than to finish Secret City.  People need *Goals* in their lives!  I'm off to dream up some goals folks. Goodnight!
