I am so glad the weekend has finally arrived. It was a hectic work week that ended with my entire department being frazzled by another department word-smithing our patient narratives & case comments. Somehow, we managed to escape early for a much needed 3-day weekend. I quickly changed into my run-wear and headed for the hills.
Once more, I ran solo but I was not alone in my travels. I love to see the wildlife on my runs — at least the wild but not dangerous type (deers, lizards, etc.)
It certainly was a perfect day for running. The sun was California spectacular — bright and warm — with a cool breeze blowing. I made my way straight to my favorite trail and, before long, was huffing and puffing.
There is nothing like a 2-mile steep ascent to remind you that you have not been running enough. Once again, I was humbled. Nonetheless, I stuck to it. With W picking up my son from school, I had nothing but time. Therefore, I had no excuse not to complete the run I had set out to do.
