Glad I Did

Wasn't sure what I wanted to do yesterday.    I felt great but was sleepy tired as a result of being  quite gassy after all the Chilly I ate at the Frosty Saturday.   Originally I decided to fit a 16K on the treadmill at work.  I had to do some running around later in the day and would be passing Allan Park so I though why not.    As is so often the case plans changed  and I started watching RADX that had a program about a camp at the N Pole and one segment featured the “North Pole Marathon”.     At 4:pm I met my Father In-law in Williamsford  to transport  our youngest friend back to his place on the 2^nd.   Around 5pm or there abouts on of my Middle Children still had not left Waterloo yet … I was to pick him up sometime Sunday Eve in Hanover.   My dear wife was in the process of making a Stew and didn't have many Potatoes so I made a quick trip down the 2^nd to Echardts for a bag of Spuds.  Dam near got stuck going down the 2^nd so I headed back up Hwy #6 and across Grey Rd 12.    Now making it back around 5:45 pm I learned that the “Middle had just left Waterloo … BINGO ,  I still had time to get a Run in.     Told my Wife that I was going to the GYM and would run for 1 hour and then need 10min to shower before getting “Middle” in Hanover.    I also  had to make a trip to Walkerton before Hanover to drop some stuff off for “Oldest” Sons family.   Figured I may keep “Middle” waiting for a bit. 

I don’t often include much about anything  other then running in my Blog.  The reason of the above is because I wanted to demonstrate that I am “always fitting it in”.  As much as I Love to Run its not my priority and it doesn't have to be….I fit it in to my life its just that simple!   There is the odd day when I don’t find the time to fit it in but it doesn't happen very often.  I average about 2 races/month year after year and I would have to say that that is one time that it does get rather intrusive after all lacing up in a past time ,  a hobby something that gives back far more then I put in!  

So I Ran ,  yep I fir it in and it felt marvelous.     Starting is always a touch uncomfortable but not last night.  Nothing hurt and it felt like I was already warmed up.   Felt so good that I stretched it out to a 12Ker at a mostly 5:30 pace.     Reflected allot on what I did at the Frosty and looked forward to what I need to do between now and the LS100!
