Welcome to My Garden

We may walk on different paths, but we follow the same footprints.

This year I'm focusing on improving my running and overall health by taking the 2017 Mile Challenge and seeing where the journey takes me. I'm also revisiting the Monthly Challenge started by Nephew Jason in 2009.

I'll try to post something every day. It may be a short inspirational quote or a longer narrative. Please join me......

2017 miles Day 258

Happy Happy Sunday!!!
Today's Sunday run was a 10 miler.  It was a beautiful perfect 72 degrees but with a 15-17 mile/hr south wind.  Ran the first 6 miles east/west and didn't mind the cross wind.  Mile 7 was north, with the wind, uphill.  It felt really good.  Then I turned around and started mile 8 against the wind.  Even though it was a half mile down hill then mostly flat, it was a struggle.  It felt like .... blah ...  so decided to pack it in and run the last 2 miles on the treadmill at a consistent 9 min/mile pace.  Now, that was fun.  So much better than running against the wind.

I found a very inspirational YouTube channel "Your World Within" by Eddie Perero.  I listened to a couple of his motivational pieces, and he definitely hits the spot.  Check it out.


I wouldn't listen to every one back to back.  I suggest choosing one every morning when you get up. They are really good!!!

So, here is what I get to do this week.  Work on a painting, log 50 + miles, sub a couple of days in the high school, and enjoy life.  What do You get to do?   Have a good one!!!
