30 Minute Sunday Thoughts

Today the goal was a 30 minute run, and I accomplished that. Mark and I went to NIFS, and I headed out on the track. It was actually nice to see families at the gym. Some were running. Others were playing basketball. I liked watching the father showing his son how to use the punching bag.

About the closest our dad every did to taking us to a gym like atmosphere, was going to the high school pool near our cottage on Lake Michigan. In the fall or winter, there were days he would take us to pool for a swim. I always enjoyed that.

As I ran, I also began to think about the races I have planned. The first 5K of the year is March 5. Am thinking of a 10K later, and the Geist Half in May. I want to begin running longer than 40 minutes. Over the next couple weeks, my longer runs will stretch to an hour. I need to work on the endurance. I know speed will come later.

The run was a good one. One run for the week down - 3 to go.
