Ten Mile Run Today

Sarah and I will be heading out today on our last long run before the Seaside Half Marathon on March 7. We will be experimenting with several things: before run breakfast, hydration, energy supplements, etc. Mostly we will just try and enjoy the challenge. Looks like a nice day - sunny and high of 60.

I'm enjoying the process and looking forward to the race. I'm also enjoying the benefits that come with regular (almost daily) exercise and trying to use my brain when it comes to the food I eat.

I'm enjoying running with Sarah. I usually run alone; I find that having someone else there creates a faster pace. Interesting.

For the most part I'm marveling at this 62 year old body; my pace is about 2 minutes per mile slower than 20 years ago but I feel like I could get back to that pace if I did the training. I'm just enjoying "where I am" and not feeling so competitive about it. Maybe that's a true sign of being older!
