Kicking It Into High Gear

I felt pretty good starting out this morning with a speedy starting pace. It was a short run this morning so I kicked it up a notch s bit above the easy pace that was called for.

I’m not sure if I’d go so far as to say that I would choose winter over summer, but it comes close.

    Short easy 5 mile training run this morning. My focus this morning was on the Jon Martinson family and the people of Sierra Leone.

As for Sierra Leone, last night I happened to catch a little montage video of my trip, back in May, that Google Photos made. It brought back so many feelings from my time there. I hope that I can return again. I’m also thankful to be a part of improving life there. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water Donate to Clean Water…
