Long Easy !

That weather is a strange thing. After really hot humid days with storms I awoke Sunday morning at 3:30 am feeling cold. A bit of a struggle to get out of bed and for a split second contemplated not going for a run. But I felt guilty and told myself I would reward myself with some more research into the ongoing alcohol/running test program. Stepping out I was hit by a cold wind that almost took my breath away. No time for warm up or stretch so it was straight into the run. I took it really easy and at about 3k I was feeling warmed up. It's nice now the sun comes up a lot earlier, it made the trip out to Cleveland point just that bit more enjoyable. Looking out over the water I took a deep breath and turned for home. It's not that I run with my head down but I do see alot of money on the road and on occasion I pick it up ( it has to be a gold coin to make it worth while) Lucky for me I spotted two $2 coins and picked them up. As I got close to home I was feeling good so I headed out to Point O Halloran and spotted a golf ball, I picked it up and it kept me amused for a while as I bounced and threw it around while running. 3 k to go I was still feeling good so I upped the pace and came home strong. I was really happy with that run. All up 25.4k at 5:26 pace.
Tonight 15-16k ?
Take care.
