Run, rest, repeat...

What a wonderful day out. 17 degrees and sunny!! Really? Is that what I've been reduced to...thinking 17 degrees is awesome!?

I'll be honest with you...(not like I WASN'T before) I like running in cooler weather. In fact, 45-50 degrees is my ideal running weather. Slight breeze, a little sun, a lot of cool. That's what I like best! I decided Southern California would be nice, but maybe it's a little TOO warm for me! My dreams of moving to the great state of Cali are not completely gone, though. I still think about living where I can FEEL the energy surrounding me!

Alas, here I am. And I should make the best out of what I have been given. Today's workout (run) was just that...I made the best out of the 4.0 miles I ran. I ran nice and easy for the first 3.25, and ended the run gradually upping my intensity for the final .75 miles. I know I'm just getting back into running and promised myself JUST GET THE MILES IN SLOWLY!! That's what I'm doing, though.

One more week of vacation until it's back to work! I'll be heading to the school one or two days this week to clean out the room (bring back things I don't need in the room the rest of the year) and to prepare for the next couple of weeks...always a plus to be ahead of schedule!!

Peace out! Tomorrow or the next day, it would be awesome to run around the lake, then to M, and back home. That would give me about 6.0 miles!! That would be my longest run since getting back into running 4 weeks ago. I can do that!

Thought for the day: Life is not a teeter-totter...it's a balance beam. Those who focus and are determined enough, not only make it from point A to point B, they make it gracefully!
