Leaf Peep And Run

The last two days were a bust. I woke up feeling completely run down and fatigued. While it is nice to know what causes it, it still makes for a rough day.

Today, I woke up feeling a little better. It's a gorgeous fall day. The leaves are turning, and it is sunny and warm. I wanted to go for a run. I was not feeling motivated, but I knew I needed to take advantage of this weather. I'll be running through snow soon enough.

I finally got myself out and running around 11am. Later than I was hoping, but I have to fit it in when I can. I decided to do an old favorite route, which involves a mile-long steep hill. It was a tough run. I did walk a little, but I tried to keep the walking parts short. I ran big chunks of the hill. It was not easy, but I got it done. I ran just under four miles. Not fast, but I did it. That's the first step to one of my long-term goals. (More on that later)

This makes it all worth it.
