A Second Run & Reminiscing

OBJECTIVE
Run

ACHIEVED
3.02 mi.@ 8:00/mi.

7:03 PM 65° 73% 9 mph

I snuck in an extra run today. After working later, I went over the Memorial Park for a loop before going on to the airport to pick up my dad.

I had an intense head ache most of the afternoon. I've dealt with this enough times to know it's allergy related (self-diagnosed). This didn't help my run but my pace was first, as usual through the park. It's the energy of all the other people.

I saw Jonathan Bennett when I drove up and was looking for a parking place. He was leading a group of Power in Motion runners. This reminded me that it was almost exactly two years ago that I started running. That first night with Power in Motion, I seriously wondered if I could make it one mile. I met Jonathan and his wife, Julie, that night. I could have never imagined what that first night running in Memorial Park would have led to ... certainly not 4 marathons, 2 half marathons, dozens of 5K and 10K races and thousands of miles. It's all a good thing.
