Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Today's run
Felt real good to get back out there for that solo run in the darkness. Race's can be fun and challenging, and it is nice and good for the dog to take Spotty along my run, and the treadmill also has a role in training. But I feel best and run at my best when I am running all alone out there in the darkness.
It's one of the reasons I don't feel a need to seek out a running club or running partner. Running is not a social thing for me. Instead it's an outlet, a chance to be alone, something I don't get all that often in a house of 5 people plus 2 pets.
Taking last week off was good, and I will probably look to do the same, only next time I plan to do after a race rather than before the race. One of the real challenges with the rest of the races is they are all longer (5 miles in May is the shortest, the rest of the series is 10K or more), but they are scheduled for Saturdays. So I will not be as accustomed to the long runs those days, but since I generally take Fridays off, except for stretching and some strength training that shouldn't be a big problem.
