Course: A short jaunt around my larger community.
I finally found my way around to lacing up my running shoes and getting back on the roads this morning. IT has been nearly two weeks since my last run, and though I still have a lingering cough and some phlegm backup from my flu, the time just seemed right to giver 'er a go. Things went pretty well, though I did find myself both spitting and blowing my nose (farmer stylee!) frequently (though the cough abated until I got home) and I have high hopes that I may actually make it to the first Freezeroo race of the season next Saturday.
The likelihood of my placing were small anyway, but with a simple adjustment of personal expectations ("hey, just finish with a smile!") I can easily convince myself that running a five-miler seems like a good way to spend an hour or so next Saturday morning.
