facebook motivation
a quick check of status updates from two of my friends (Jeff & Ryan) this morning got the wheels spinning for me. both had run 10 miles and i figured that sounded about right for me as well. granted, their efforts were in the morning while mine waited until the mid-afternoon but every little bit helps getting that first step outdoors.
along the way, i noticed a guy walking his (unleashed) dogs wearing only a yellow short sleeve shirt and green shorts. judging by the state in which i reside, you can guess what was written across his chest. later on, i saw a couple walking together that was much more suitably dressed for the conditions and exchanged a wave. coming back in, a local high school kid was running along the same way i was so we struck up a conversation. it’s encouraging to talk to a kid who is motivated enough to go for a run (solo) in conditions like that and be as well spoken about running in general. in all, i covered my ten miles and headed in for a hot shower.
MTD/YTD – 21 miles
