May I Run One More Time?

Before I start my daily blog on my run, I've been thinking that I haven't added much about the dad part of my blog.  I don't really want this to turn into a baby blog, since what parent can't talk all day about their kid? But I will do some honors to my daughter.  Here is one of her favorite meals, pasta with marinara last night. She gave a bit of a face for the photo.  (We have to strip her down to minimize stains and thankfully it was bath night).

Just Finished Dinner Dad!

Now to the run. 5am, 68 degrees, 6 mile recovery run, last day in my cycle before a running rest day. I expected my legs to be sore and fatigued. I get outside, I feel a lot better than I normally do going into this. Maybe training is paying off?  I keep it slow, why risk it. I see a bunch of new faces today, maybe running before it gets hot.

The run itself was smooth. Park district was doing lawn work which gave me slightly itchy eyes. And I didn't notice until I looped back, trees were getting foliage. FINALLY. And I decided to jump off path to take in the sunrise for a minute, and saw another runner doing the same thing down at the water. I think the photo captures the feels (runner in the photo was taking a photo a moment prior)

Wish I could have sat there and meditated

Final thought, the other day I saw a young lady jogging with a Coach wristlet in hand. Is she just being green and reusing and old product, this going to be a new trend, or still hanging on to too much while running? Wish I could run again today, so nice.
