What a beautiful morning for a run. There was snow on the trees and on the ground, but the roads and trail were dry. I ran from home down to the end of the trail and back. At mile 4 I stopped to tie my shoe. Just then I got passed by a lady. I had to prove to myself that I could keep up with her. I stayed about 100 yards behind her for the next 5 miles. When I finished, I felt like I had just run a race. Average pace 8:29. |
