Summer arrived in Kansas...and while I've been in the basement on the treadmill happily for a month or so a dear friend reminded that Flat Rock isn't run on a treadmill so I'd better get my behind outside if I didn't want to kill myself on that trail. Thanks to her gentle prodding and her agreeing to check in and see if I actually got up early I started doing 5AM runs this week. Thanks dear friend!!
Monday was an uneventful 3 miler with a beautiful sunrise over my sleepy little town.
Wednesday was slightly more eventful 3.5 miler with another beautiful sunrise as a reward for getting up and for not giving up...even when I fell and scraped up my leg (watch your step when climbing rock stairs people). Thankfully it seems that I managed to NOT fully injure myself (Knock on wood), and as Story Hawk likes to tell me at least I had some practice falling and not giving up.
My homepage ticker is taunting me with it's countdown to Flat Rock so I hope to keep the 5AM run routine until September. Now to add in the 5AM strength routine and I might actually survive 15-16 miles on the Flat Rock trail.
