Better Day

I got out at 4:26 at 16 degrees--another day totally in the dark.  I did the figure 8 plus extra loop and had one of my best efforts in awhile.  I was tired ,but as I got out on the road I just found a good groove--fueled by the fact that I didn't want to get a late start heading to work. I had a more positive mind-set. Life feeling better a day at a time, but always in need of God's protection and guidance.  I do like this route as it is so quiet.  I found that the running that I did yesterday made my knees feel very sensitive--reminding me as to why I made the switch.  I do miss the days of 10 years ago when I could run mile after mile without any pain--but, I prefer the feeling after a walk of my body feeling good and my knees feeling good--this makes me realize that the best thing is to workout consistently without feeling pain.  I also appreciate training here on Long Island without having to subject myself to the extreme weather of Maine.  I would have to gear myself up just to get out the door--once your out the door the workout usually takes care of itself. Have a blessed day! Romans 12:1
