Got out of work at a decent hour today. I was able to get some running in earlier in the week, and I decided to get another run in before it got totally dark. After finishing up Mad Money, I went out, starting my Garmin at the top of the hill where I live so I can include some hillwork in each run.

I decided to push it today and go for 5 miles. I was exhausted. Wheezing. Sweating under my sweatshirt. I heard the crickets chirping, even though it was still pretty chilly in the 50’s.

But it was worth it. My time wasn’t too bad either! 53 minutes. That’s about a 10:36 mile. 5 miles. That’s a third of a half-marathon, which is less than 2 months away. Not looking for PR’s this time around, just looking to finish…and to lose my gut!
