i ran around 6.30 in the evening my favorite time to run during the spring months. and spring is right around the corner after all. my goal for this run was to take it easy and enjoy. just feel good and be patient. during an 'easy' run the ease of it can be distracting because it requires longer stretches of patience. after all the actual run will take longer. while tempo runs or more challenging runs are tests of determination and just hanging on during the training. running for several years now i have come to anticipate and recognize the different cycles to my training. watching and developing insight into other arenas of life is just another life lesson learned while running. so here are the stats: 5.1 miles 45.35. 8.56 ave mile. I thought based on how i felt during the run that i was running 9.07-9.30. i hope the garmin is right!!
now that Lent is in full swing i am still trying to adjust to dietary changes and although i have not been perfect about excluding all meat and fish products from my diet i have removed most of it. the bloating is horrible from the subtle changes and i'm hoping it will go away. the kids have been doing great for their fast they do eat pizza twice a week but that is more a function of my lack of culinary skill.
soon our newly assigned parish priest will be with us. Our small parish is fighting for its survival after being ravaged (allegedly) by our former priest. if you would like to help keep our parish out of foreclosure please write me and i'll give you whatever information would help process your donation.
