Dear James, Daniel and Emily
Still taking it easier on these runs, holding to that 3 mile mark while I make sure I am recovered from the Half. Plus had to fight through the yearly head cold. Hit me Thursday, stayed home & rested Friday, spent most of Saturday & Sunday on the couch.
But Monday morning I got myself out the door and got in a good run, despite my nose leaking like a sieve. And today the same thing, just powered through it. Although I did have to change to the long sleeve shirts as a concession to the morning chill of impending fall. Otherwise it has been pretty much running as normal.
Did try something new last week, and like it as a way to divert my mind. It started with those commercials where the marathon runner is listening to an audio book. It had not crossed my mind to try something like that. So last week I downloaded a couple of podcasts, and tried running while listening to one. And the run went well, maybe a little slower, but pacing is not really my focus these days. So that's a fun way to make my runs more interesting. Right now my focus is on football podcasts, but I might look into some audio books as well as an alternative.
