Yo run gang,
February 13, 2013

Running is a wonderful escape, giving us an hour or so away from being a serious adult. The harsh realities and responsibilities of life are there when we get back but we can charge into them refreshed, clear headed and maybe a little ... smug!

We return armed with the peace and satisfaction we have gained from the run and the knowledge that there is so much more to this rich and wonderful life. Bring it on!

When the run is going well, keep on going! There is no better time to get in a long run than to start it at the end of the run distance you had planned for the day! I'll often reset my watch and start fresh, you can't beat a bonus run! Resetting the watch is just a little mental trick, it's not like we don't know we just put in an awesome run! Getting home to write a big number in the log when we didn't expect it can sure supercharge our running week!

We are so lucky to be able to run away from our troubles, guilt free!
