Sluggish Training Run But Thinking of ETC

I could also tell that some bad eating the previous few days was affecting how I was feeling while running. I really need to get back on track with things.

Since it was near a school, and want looked like a community “park” there were a lot of kids around. I think there were a lot of people in general because of watching the well drilling. We’re there for about 3.5 hours before we started to see some water flowing from the well. They eventually got the…
Late Night Saturday Long Run
It didn’t work out to get my run in this morning so I headed out tonight, but it sure was a challenge running into some of those 25+ mile/hour wind gusts. #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogMarathon #Garmin #Running
