How often are we pushed far beyond our normal range?

Not very.

From the hotel it seemed to be a mile and a half to the beach.

Turned out it was 3.6 miles. Haven’t run 7.2 miles in the past 30 years.

So walking the second half seemed like a nice compromise because of one thing.

Time.

There was last minute time in the morning that wasn’t filled with meetings.

It was a delightful indulgence.

A gift.
