This day has started out beautifully! I didn't ask a lot for Christmas, so I decided to ask the Lord if I could have just ONE day of sunshine so that I could get in a run. And he granted it. As I was driving to Farmville I was hoping against hope that the High Bridge Trail would be runnable but -- alas -- it had the runnability of an ice-skating rink. Hmm, wonder if the local high school has a track that's open to the public? Et voila!
I got in a lovely run for just over 5 miles before stopping for lunch.
Glad to see I got my steps in.
Felt REALLY good to run again.
Earlier I had gone to the gym for a brief workout.
I thought I had a shot for 4 close-grip pull ups in a row. Et voila!
(Like my French?) The bad news is that I'm not even close to getting in 4 straight wide-grip pull ups with proper form. They are much harder!
Are you anything like me? I always want more. I am never quite satisfied. That makes me annoying but it also makes me driven. It's just who I am. Yeah, I know -- there's a happy balance between acceptance and pushing yourself. But I'm still trying to find it. This is something I'm definitely working on.
Oh well, enough wah, wah, wah. It was a GREAT morning to be running and lifting in Southside Virginia today. Simply said, it's tough not being outdoors on a day like this!
Have a great weekend wherever you are!
