Double Digits

I finally got back over ten miles. We came down to Long Island for a family party so I made sure to bring my gear.  Some times you just need to escape for a couple hours and hit the roads.   The weather was supposed to be warm so I was looking forward to that as well. Unfortunately the forecast was a bit off and it wasn't as warm as I had hoped.

It still turned out to be a good run. I haven't done more that six in a so I was interested to see how ten went. I ran along Hempstead Lake in the woods and it was quite nice. The area is nothing special but the run was relaxing and consistent. Very happy I got out before the rain and got in some fun.

Of course I then came back to my kid screaming and fighting with his cousin. I need to get up to twenty milers soon so I can plan one of those next time I'm in NY.   Three hours of nothing but inner contemplation and fresh air. Aaahh, bliss.

  3. I know about kids fighting!!! When my kids fight I tell them "mom is going to work right now." That usually last a few minutes of peace and quite. I'm glad you enjoyed your run!!! Hope to run with you soon.
