Some road miles for this morning’s “long run” (90 minutes during this maintenance phase). And I spent most of it overthinking old relationships, things I wish I’d done, things I wish I hadn’t. The only conclusion I drew was that I definitely spend too much time worrying about things I have little control over. 😕
And then I saw these two bottles. I’ve run past this particular point 3-4 times over the last week and the Miller bottle has been there each time. I know we’ve had some horribly windy days so I cannot imagine it is the same bottle. And today it had a friend, a Patron bottle, sitting next to it. At it got me wondering about the person who drinks a daily quart of Miller lite right at this spot, and if that person met up with a tequila drinker last night, and are they friends, etc. And I was grateful to have these stupid thoughts take over for a few miles 😆
What do you think about during a long run? Is it always happy? Sometimes dark? Occasionally silly? 😊

No more downhill long runs for me. Instead, today I’m supporting my son as he trains for #revelmtcharleston
Because running shouldn’t hurt, right? I mean, aside from the pain of pushing your muscles and lungs to their max. It shouldn’t hurt just to drive my legs forward, yet for some reason this particular course has beat the hell out of me. I’m super bummed - running fast down a hill is fun! Or at least it should be! I envy all the runners who will get to fly down this mountain in a couple of weeks. I guess for now my sadistic hip, hamstrings, and glutes insist on balancing the load with plenty of uphills. Crazy.
