When The Road And Reality Meet
I noticed something about myself - when I use my FitSnap App or post about my runs, I have a tendency to only post the pace when I feel that they are a 'decent' pace for me.
But you know, not every run is a 10 minute mile or less. So to only show my 'faster' pace runs... well.. it isn't a true representation or me or my running. And it got me to thinking about how I should be proud of all of my workouts - regardless of pace or distance. When I am trail running, I don't really think about pace. I would like to do the same thing when it comes to road running. Of course I want to improve. But I don't want to get hung up on pace. For me that is one big different between trail and road running - and I think it's one reason why I am enjoying trail running so much right now. Because it's just about the run...
I overslept this morning. It was super humid. I felt like I was literally running in a cloud.
I had dreams of an awesome faster 3-4 mile run since I didn't have time for a 5 miler that I had originally planned.
But this is where the road and reality meet...
Yeah, so that faster run didn't happen :) But this is where the reality comes in. I want to be real with myself and with you.

Slow or fast, long or short... it's my run.. and I own it.
