Feeling I was due for a long run today after taking yesterday off from pounding the pavement, I headed to the Pittman Wash to apply my Chi Running techniques.
The trail is 4 miles from one end to the other, so if I went out and back twice that would be 16 miles. That was the original plan. There's a water fountain at the 3 mile mark and I can hit it again on the way back (5 miles). After the first 8 miles I was feeling so good I decided to repeat the urban asphalt trail. I revived myself with some Propel Fitness water I'd stashed in my car and set out again. When I got to the water fountain (11 miles) I'd been running for 2 hrs. I said enough was enough and turned around shortening the distance to an easy 14 miles (2:32). That's enough for a work day. But I felt great and feel right on course for the Dec. 4 LV Marathon.
I believe a blade of grass
Is no less than the
Journey work of the stars.
