the pace was nothing to write home about, but it felt good….even the trudging through the snow, and at some spots snow covered ice….and sometimes, soft ice, cover in snow, that breaks as soon as you step on it and you end up with a soaking wet shoe and foot……

and yeah, the pace was good for what it was…I was planning on a 5K, and then was disappointed with the 7.69K…so, I went out for a bit more

It wasn’t much, but I felt I need to get closer to 10K……….and it felt good.

The day after a good 5K with my Run Club buddy Amy…..actually it was a 6K…..so a good two days….

yeah I need to shave…and maybe contacts?…….where has all that grey hair come from….I’m feeling and looking my age….I’m not happy about that…I’m having a tuff time dealing with being 63…….

I have no idea how 63 s supposed to look, or dress, sound….what is someone that’s 63 supposed to do…what is right?

I remember my grandparents in their 60s, is that me…….what happened to being in my 20s, hell, 30s…..?

I really need this trip to Vancouver….I don’t care if it rains, is sunny, I just need that break…I can sense that around home as well………I need a reboot…….

I’ve had a few good weeks…working out, getting involved at my club, hitting the weights, and just getting out and about feels together…..

This morning was actually a good test….I really didn’t feel like running…I am tired of the snow, today wet snow…..I had to record a shoe talk for an upcoming clinic, got that done, and thought, ‘do I really want to, need to run?’

and as usual, as soon as I took my first step…..it felt as it should, good…..

I’ve a huge MD appointment on Wednesday, hopefully I’ll get some answers….why my head still hurts at times…..and few other things…a lot of tests later…is this an age thing…

I’m looking forward to getting rid of the winter shoes, the Saucony Peregrines, and getting into something lighter, and on roads, sidewalks and trails of bare tarmac…hopefully that’ll mean more speed…or just a little more effortless…..yeah, time to begin packing…

Yes, I’m sort of unsure how I feel about traveling so far for basically an 8K and a 5K run……but, well, maybe it’ll launch me into the summer and a good 63rd year…
