Sunny Sand Run

Today I ran on sunny Sand Run with my friend Debi. Normally Debi and I run at five in the morning, so it was rather refreshing to see each other in daylight. We decided to run the path, which is six miles, and tack on two neighborhood miles in the middle. This way the last three miles were downhill, which is GENIUS when mapping out the long run.

Normally I would never run fewer than ten miles on a Sunday run. . .and I feel a bit sad that MyFitnessPal tells me I burned fewer than a thousand calories. . .but honestly, why do I need to run at least ten miles today? Sand Run has plenty of hills, which increases my effort and consequently my fitness (tell it to MyFitnessPal, though), so it was a fantastic run.

I don’t have any races planned until April, when I’ll be running in with a relay team for the Canton Hall of Fame Marathon. I might do a five-miler before then, and it’s a teensy bit possible that I will run the Shamrock 15k, if I feel like torturing myself. Click here if you want the details about that particular hellish race where I battle the Voices in my head. Anyway, since I don’t have any goal races until April, I had better think about what I’m going to do in the off-season, especially withYou-Know-What on the way.

My goals (so far):
