The first run after a hard race is always interesting. Tonight I just did a 30 minute loop. Everything feels good.

Things are really hard these days to keep in balance. I had to wait to run until much later than I prefer. But I kept thinking that letting these other things get in the way of my goal is just so lame. So I decided to go out anyway. Today’s planned run was a 30 minute run anyway, so I am right on track.

Before I left at 8 pm, I turned on the Olympics. I love having them on. It’s like 24 hours of sports all the time. It just is so inspiring to have this available to us. It has really shifted my focus these days from some of the horrible crap in the news to only positive things. Did you ever realize how you waste your valuable energy on such things for which the return is so little? The majority of the news is like that, especially when you go on my local city’s website. The headlines are just so depressing. Better to put your time into the positive.

Keep on keeping on!
