Alice Unplugged: I wanted to run, but put it off a little bit because that is what I do with my life in the summer. I take a bit to get moving because I have a weird sleeping schedule(up late with movies, and then sleep in.). Anyway, this did not work in my favor with the run because when I was finally mentally prepared to go, I heard thunder. It has been raining here for what feels like weeks. I don't think I even remember what the sun looks like. (Not that I stare into it because that is not safe for eyesight!) So, I had to wait for about 45 minutes until I could run and not get wet and still there was the chance that I'd have a wet run, but I was able to fit this one it before the next storm rolled through. Because of the threat of rain, I decided to go "unplugged," meaning without the iPhone blaring in my ears and without my GPS watch. I didn't want them getting water damaged. It was very interesting to listen to the clop, clop of my feet. I guess it is a good way to see if I am striking properly. Again, my chiropractor is king! It was also nice to have a little talk with God along my path. It was very calming! Maybe I will have to have a weekly "unplugged" run! I was very proud to run the whole way. I also was motivated at the end of the run to keep pace because I saw my friend's husband leaving his work and we have been talking about meeting for lunch, seeing he is working up here(an hour away from where they live). I did get home quickly, but was unable to find him. I guess my stalking skills need work. Well, off to weigh in. Wish me luck! |
