5 Mile Run

Episode-103


For the past year one of my favorite things to do is to go for a run when I travel.  Since I had to travel for work this week and it happened to be in Florida (where the weather is nice) I was excited to go for at least one good run.  I didn't really even know how long or short of a run I would take nor did I make a plan for how fast I wanted to run.  Sometimes I think it is good to get a run in with no plan at all, just go do it. 

I left the hotel at 6AM with thoughts of just completing 5K but once I was twenty five minutes into the run I felt like going further.  By the time I made it back to the hotel the run was just over 5 miles and took a little over 52 minutes.  Not a good time or speed but it felt good to get up and get it done. 

Most days I don't get to go early in the morning but when I have the chance I really enjoy going early.  The weather was nice and I felt good when it was over.

This was the first time I have run outside in about 2 weeks.  The weather at home has been cold and I really haven't bought the clothing to run in the cold yet.  I will get there.  The treadmill is a good change every now and then but I would much rather run outside when I can.  There is more to see and it opens my mind up a little more too.  Plus, I don't have to stare at a tv with depressing news on it for at least an hour.

This will be the only run I will get on this trip but I may jump rope or do some core exercises tomorrow morning.  If I go on a 4 day trip I like to exercise at least half of the days just to stay in some type of rhythm. 

I am just trying to get another step closer to completing 26m385y.
