Closing out 2016 on a great run

RUN 10 miles in 1:29, work commute on a Saturday morning

I've been running but not updating here. Part of my "off" in the off season includes being "off" here too. Running has been building steadily since the beginning of December. The first few runs I didn't want to do and it didn't feel good. I'm over the hump -- now it feels great and fluid and strong and fun.

I ran in to work with a PYP podcast Need Less Want Less. He's talking to me, even though he's talking to everyone (including himself, methinks, on this solo pods) he's saying exactly  what I need to hear. He says I made a difference on his 2016, well he made a difference on my 2015 and 2016 and played a direct role in my success this year making progress in the Battle.

Once at work I started working on my 2016 Songlist during an incubation, and listened to that on the way home. This definitely fueled a great run -- upbeat, familiar, memory lane songs. I should check the paces over the miles, the run home had to be faster :)

I finished the 10 miles on my street, a slight downhill to the Oasis song. I felt light, free, fast, healthy, happy, and strong.

I'm typing this up on Dec 21st, first day of Winter and importantly on a separate topic the finale of the Battle, a year long process I didn't get into here. Last night I watched the first half, tonight the second half. I'm being careful to think of it as "I'm doing this" not "I've done it". It's still a process.

I think this is a great place to end the 2016 Blog. I'll do my usual 2016 Songlist Summary too, but I'd like to close out strong and looking ahead to 2017 :) ProBee Style!
