Today was a nice and easy 5 miler up to Evanston. Temps were in the 40's. It was a bit damp, but I felt good as I headed out. My goal was to run "easy". By that, I mean I was not going to push or force myself to go fast or slow. As a result my time was 59:22. Really not too bad.
Not many runners out today. Those who were, I tried to nod and say hello, but no friendly folks. Where were they?
Nothing major on my mind. I wanted to block the world out, and just be within myself. My mantra in my head was, "Stay within yourself." I think that calmed me, and really let my body relax and run. It felt really good.
While I ran, Mark was doing a 45 min - 1 hour walk. He was in essence following me, though he turned around at the 1/2 hour point, and got back to the house before I did. He says he felt really good. He too was zoning the world out.
Friday will be my last run for the week. Not sure what to think....it may be 70 that day! WOW!
