Boring Olympics

This week the olympics consist of a different version of the same thing, hockey is exempt. Thank goodness there is cable TV, because you can never get enough Andy Griffith.

The runs in the mornings are becoming the same way, but same course different day. With snow , ice and otherwise dark cross country courses my Bay Hill and Huddleston loops are it. It's like I can tell when certain houses are waking and what kind of coffee they are brewing.

But today was again very plesent weather , 34 degrees out the door and no wind at all. Very dark due to cloud cover and no traffic. Clear streets so folks don't need to leave as early.

Another 6 miles, a consisent pace as fitness continues to improve , just am really ready for early morning daylight and more exciting routes.

Rain, Rain

Up at 4:45 , made some coffee, got the paper, let nature take care of me , and out the door. A soft easy rain, but getting off my street was like running in wet, cold quicksand. Two blocks and clear road!

It was really a enjoyable run, just wet. No wind , 38 degrees, hey it's Febuary. My pace was a carry over from yesterday, not barn burning , but a nice 7:30 for 6 miles.

I was still thinking of yesterdays run and the message at church, and just thinking back of early morning runs of the past , years ago. It's all good.

At 57, I think I want to be like Billy, running at 82 and enjoying it.

With the weather forcast for the middle of the week, cold will return, but those days will get fewer and fewer.
