Week ending May 15

I didn't do as much running this past week as I had planned. I ended up working my second job on both my days off from my first job. Mondays I didn't run because I go from working late to working early. Then I didn't run on Wednesday as I was anticipating to run hard and long on my days off. But never ended up doing so.

Runs:

Tuesday May 10: 12 km on the hilly section of the greenway.
Friday May 13: 9 km on the hilly section of the greenway, was dark and didn't have it in me to do night running this day.
Saturday May 14: 16.5 km up and down Lost Lake Trail. Was very nice, lots of run-off water to drink and cool down in.

Today I bought a new pair of running shoes.



They aren't exactly the same as my previous pair, the store I go to didn't have them. So I ended up with these. I finally found some new (to me) running shorts that were within my price range. I'm fully willing to pay 150 dollars for shoes, but 45 dollars for one article of clothing is beyond me. So I got some old school umbro shorts. No more running with board shorts that hang too low. I gotta go back to the store tomorrow to donate some of my old shoes . . . I knew there was a reason I was keeping them around.

77 days.

A couple months ago I heard someone say "Will the words you are about to speak improve upon the current silence?" And because of this I find myself being so much more mindful of what I say, and the results are definitely positive. We have two ears and one mouth for a reason, we should be listening more than we speak.

I`m pretty sure I will actually be able to get the time off work for the 50 mile race on June 26. So stoked!

Keep running.
