Not sure if it is the fact that it is Spring or that it was at least sunny but today's run was more fun. So far since Atlanta I have not run more than 5 miles so today was a "lets see how we do at 6 and a bit".
I got up a little later than usual - and when I did and I saw that it was 25 degrees outside I decided to wait a bit. Finally at 8:30 and 28 degrees I decided that I better get out or I was going to waste my entire day. So off I went. I did my usual 10K circuit around Brambleton and Broadlands. It is nice as it has some trails as well as hills so a good variety. The first mile or two was tough but then the "just run" kicked in and the rest was fun.
It was a casual run - a 9:30 pace but it felt good. Kind of nice given that two weeks tomorrow is the 10 miler. Now I know I can run it - the only question is how fast. Well I have two weeks to enjoy some more runs before then - and I know I will.

ISHI - Japanese for DETERMINATION. Some would say I am stubborn - others opinionated - but in reality it is determined. I believe it is determination that got me through the challenges I have faced and allowed me to start this new and wonderful life. I will stay determined and we will have as much fun as we can along the way. Read along for the wonderful adventure.
