Workout Shirt of the Day - 5/25/22

May 25 (Wednesday) - 10.2 miles cycling on Air Assault bike (29:56)

Not remembering all of the fine details, but I believed that I stayed over a weekend in Pennsylvania to go and visit my grandparents after being in the Philadelphia area for work.

The results are still on the Internet at runhigh.com

The race was on May 15, 2004 and my co-worker and good friend, Rob Jones, also ran the race.

He was third overall.  I was 197th out of 208 in the 10K.

Jonesy ran 36:51.  I finished in 1:06:06.

One thing that came out of it as Rob had run back out a little to check on me is that he noticed that I had clinched my fists when I ran.  

He advised me to relax a bit by trying to run with my index fingers touching my thumbs.  

Interestingly enough, it really did work.

Learning; May 7, 2022

My daughter moved into her place yesterday.  She'll be 27 in a few weeks.

I've given her the opportunity to be at home for the last nine years after graduating from high school while she got her degree and started her professional career.

During this time, she's banked a lot of money.  She basically has a two-year-old car that's been paid off because she was able to put a large down payment on it and then have a year to start building her credit.

So it was time, and this move allows her to be closer to work, which will save her time as she develops her social life and continue to work towards her masters degree.

Me today, I learned that I don't have to go to a race to be happy.

I don't know that I let it define me, even though I have enjoyed it.

I was actually in the car, down the street and when I got to the end of the street I turned around and parked it and went back and laid down.

I went to bed early with the hopes of going to Yoakum to run a 5K this morning, but I was wide awake in the three o'clock hour and started moving things that were in the master bedroom to the room vacated by my daughter.

I hope to complete that this weekend sometime, but I'm happy with not even going to run one of the two parkruns this morning.

More later as I work to plan out the rest of my day.

God bless you if you're reading along.
