Quantity over quality is a decent way to stay motivated and find joy.

It was quantity over quality in Las Vegas yesterday.

Out for 80 minutes.

Mixing it up.

Run some, stop, take a photo or two, run some more, stop again.

Take what you can get.

Discovered after the fact that it was a six mile run.

Longest run in years.

Who knew?

Thinking of you today.

No run yesterday. Late visit to gym – a Saturday evening no less.

Family put on hold.

No run this morning either.

Two days of tying up loose ends before leaving for eight days.

Las Vegas via Atlanta.

Tuesday to Philly. Wednesday to NYC.

Sunday (day eight) back home again.

Suck it up. Figure it out.

Ten days into the new year. Lots of running at Walt Disney World.

It’s awesome that so many people find this four-day event motivating and stimulating.

  • day 1:  3.1
  • day 2:  6.2
  • day 3:  13.1
  • day 4:  26.2

Nearly 50 miles some will run.

Ran five this morning with second mile in 6:07.

Rusty, but will take it.
