    great Run in My Hood! 8 mi 01:04 08:00 pace

    As soon as I left the house it started to pour! This was a cold and rainy run. And did I care? NOPE. I was as happy as a clam at high tide! I needed this run badly!

      So glad you grabbed the opportunity to get in a cleansing run. Nicely done! Jaymi and I ran but the weather was very pleasant (cool, dry, a few sunbreaks).

      Thanks guys! Yeah, my pace was fine. LOL! I actually started out in the low 7s and then just got slower and slower... and yes, I use the word "slower" loosely. I think I was just more frustrated by my BAD attitude yesterday. :-/

      Yay!!! Your perspective on running is so put-together. You ran a marathon (again) and didn't hardly write a race report. Just focused on the drive, mental digging and love. This is the best!!! Huge congratulations to you and your friends who give so much!
