And so comes September....

Hey gang,

I am not much of a winter person except when it comes to running. So, it is with entirely mixed feelings that I greet September. I turn 52 this month and past 30, those occasions, while joyous, can be mixed with a bit of melancholy as well. Still at 51 years, 352 days, I must admit I can do things with my body now that I couldn't do at 30 or even 25.

Training with Mike went well on Monday, we didn't over do it but I was mildly stiff yesterday and remain so today. Went for an 8 km run with the group last night, weather was great and I love the route along the beach, up one nasty hill and then downhill for a good long stretch. Next Tuesday we run the same route in the opposite direction, a much greater challenge.

Song of the run, an old standby but a song that is dear to me Stand by you by the Pretenders.

Tonight it is speedwork. Talk to you later.

Paul
