Mile 2 was a sprint/jog mile. I found a long stretch of sidewalk and went back and forth. It was well-lit, flat, and free of most obstructions. Most. There are still thousands of tiny acorns all over Sugar Land.
I'm trying to shake things up a little. It's getting tougher mentally, boys and girls. Yesterday was a rest day and because I had a long run on Saturday, combined with a busy social weekend, I knew I really needed to rest. I didn't sleep so great last night. I think I had today's date around my mind. I moved to Texas on October 15, 2003. It's got my mind whirring. Running yesterday would have helped blow off some of that steam. But I know I need to let the body recover and rebuild.
Rebuilding takes time. 9 years may seem like forever. It's really only the blink of an eye. Thinking back over the path of my time in Texas, it's funny how only a few of my perceived obstructions were really any significance. There were even a couple of Mighty Oaks mixed in there among the acorns. Good Morning to any of my Oaks who happen to be reading this. Much Love.
