Ran in my childhood neighborhood this morning. My family moved every two years or so so I was able to see two of my childhood homes. There is one road called Shady Oak Ln that is lined with oak trees. When I was a kid I used to climb those trees with my brothers. When I ran through the rows of oaks the memories just swarmed and I had to stop and hug a few oaks. When I started running again, I noticed my speed was 8:05 and I had a huge grin on my face. I decided to loop around to run the oaks again...this time when I looked at my watch my speed was 7:45 ??? whaaat. Shady Oak Ln is only about an 1/8 of a mile long but it is beautiful. I ended up looping through the oaks 4 times before heading back. My AP was 10:10 but my fastest pace was 6:45. Now I'm hanging with my grandbaby...good times! |
