Prayers and pennies
From the very first step, I knew that today’s run would be challenging. I do like challenges, but there was nothing likable about this run.
At least I had myPod along for entertainment. She sang in my ears and tried to distract me. Although I was enjoying the songs, I remained acutely aware of how hard it was to get going.
Garminia told it how was – my pace was not up to “easy.” I was running at long run pace. It felt like I’d run several miles already when I’d only traveled a couple. My legs felt heavy but the appeared to be fine.
God only knows what was going on.
With 4 weeks until race day, I want the rest of my training to fall into place. I’ll be saying my prayers that I remain healthy in these coming weeks. And for luck, I stopped along the run to pick up a penny.

Life is a journey and, for me, running is a huge part of it. Just like a great run, it has easy and tough parts. It is beautiful at times and ugly at others. Hopefully, I will reach the finish feeling good about what I have accomplished and leave a long trail of bread crumbs to show, those that wish to know, where I have been.
I ALWAYS pick up pennies. You did the right thing!

Our friend Mark once found $40 on the street – he knocked on the door of the house it was in front of, and asked if it was theirs – they said no, so he treated the running club to coffee that day. Keep collecting those pennies – both for luck and eventually, to buy a latte!
