While Teren went down to Provo to run the Provo City Half Marathon, I headed down to the river trail for a twelve mile run. I'm not quite in half marathon shape, yet. I'm saving that for next month. I decided to download a session of general conference onto my I-pod to listen to during my run. I figured that would be a good way to sneak in some extra religion. I must admit, the gentle lilting tone of a general authority's voice doesn't exactly get the adrenaline flowing quite in the same way that Eminem does, but I had some wonderful teachings to contemplate as I ran. And, couldn't we all use a little extra spirituality in our lives?
I ran out past Gardner Village, avoiding the river that was flowing through the underpass, and continued for another mile. I went out in 42:00, and finished in 1:20:41. I'm too tired to do the math, but it was faster coming back.
I'm happy with my training this week. I think the nice weather helped my motivation and spirits! And, I am six days chocolate free! |
