Cleared to Run…

Snow on the Track

… at least the two outside lanes!

It was a beautiful day on the local high school track. I was able to get in about 2.02 MILES.  Still going around in circles, but so very happy to get out of doors!

It was windy. Very windy. I wasn’t going to let that deter me.

In the middle of my run, I was joined for a wee walk and talk with an older woman who said she recognized me running in the neighborhood.  She was very complimentary and told me that she had also run a 10k when she was in her 50’s.  Apparently it’s a pretty common phenomenon as a mid-life aspiration for a number of folks.

She wished me well and I was on my way…

I felt it toward the end. I was pushing it – I just wanted to be done. It was the first time in a very long time that I felt like I was going to puke up my guts while I was running my last interval.

But it passed and I was finished…
