Training

It is hotter than a witch's boob in a brass bra in Phoenix in July. By that I mean, it is hot!

I did go for a couple runs this past week and they felt good. The first time I went to the Alden High School track well after hours so as not to disturb any track and field training. I did 2 miles and felt awesome. I could probably have kept on running, but I thought about all the things I had to do at home and so I left.

The second run I took after taking my mom to get her truck from the repair shop. I took advantage of being out and about and went for a run on the Clarence Bike Path. It is a shortish path but very picturesque. It is also quiet! I ran without my headset so that I could hear any noises should I be followed. I also carried my keys with me and had them at the ready should I be jumped or something. I try to practice running safely. I try to do most things safely.

That was beautiful. It wasn't too hot but the sun was out. The grass and trees were completely green. The wild flowers were in bloom. The forest critters were out in full force. I even saw several dragonflies. It was an all around good experience.

After both runs I felt rejuvenated and ready to continue. Now I just have to get through the hot summer. Perhaps I will have to run at the crack of dawn or at sunset. Wonderful.
