First run of 2015!

RUN 7.1 miles in 1:04

I skipped the group run to have brekkie with DH, so I was on my own for this. I was also working this morning, so during an incubation step I squeezed this in. I give "running a PCR" a whole  new meaning!

Woke up with a calf cramp this morning, and had to wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that I didn't salt last night's filet mignon. I put butter on it (Paleo!) but no salt. It had to be already salted, right? Anyway, salt levels are just a guess anyway.

I spent the first half of today's run wondering if I was doing an out-n-back or a loop, and if I did a loop would I need to run a few extra tenths to hit the goal of 7 miles? Once I passed the halfway point and committed to a loop, I was also running with the wind and was overall much happier. And then in the end, I was able to skip the last part of the loop because I was already at goal distance! I keep telling myself to "just run", but I can't turn my mind off.

I think registration opens today for the Kettle 100. I should talk to DH first. But already I have two songs for the 2015 Songlist: Running Down A Dream and Breakaway. The latter stuck in my head this morning, better than the third song I had earlier, the one that I hope never makes the list.

Found a good quote for now: Just For Today: I will live through this day only; I will be happy; I will accept what is; I will improve.

And a quote from last night's wedding: Embrace Change.

But the theme for January: Ask yourself, How Shall This Day End.
