Sunday Mark and I went for a nice run through Ravenswood. It was an easy and slow run. I think every now and then you need a slower run, if for nothing else, just to take things in. It was sunny and bright, and lots of people out. Ravenswood has older homes, which can look quite stately. I'm quite fond of the area. All said we went 3.4 miles.
Easy was not how I would describe today's run. The goal was to push myself and I did. I ran 4 hard miles at the gym on the treadmill. I did a combination of speed and hill work. I worked up quite a sweat there. I thought about pushing it to 5 miles, but I think my hard earned 4 was fine for today.
As much as we need the occasional easy run, we also need the runs which push us hard. I was dripping sweat at the end. I felt good though. In fact I felt darned good.
The next few days we will be in Indianapolis looking for a new place to live. I will do some running in Indy and as always will talk about it here.
