Refreshing drizzle and Led Zep...

... haven't ran with either in a long time!  Felt so good to be out today; revitalised (tho' probably not markedly so from the outside!) and back in love with running again.  Even road-running round a town (Great Neck, NY) is an unexpected pleasure!


Bought some healthy stuff to eat, made sure I didn't buckle and hit the road before dinner, not hoping to do so after which realistically never happens.  Gotta keep this up - I was remembering what it felt like to be doing seven minute miles up in the hills today and I so want to be back there.  Also, couldn't remember when I last ran with my wife, which is something I really hope we can do again together when I'm back home.

This blog of course, is really a distraction from getting things done...

Normally I end up doing something like this to avoid Open University, today it's to avoid actual work.  But hey, it's a Sunday so I'll go easy on myself!


Getting back into running and this time determined not to let it slip as invariably seems to happen.  Perhaps a public presence will help prevent that.  Anyhoo, Michelle's blog got me out and now, like her, I need to think about some goals and get amongst it.
