Morning “me” time

Seven miles run over on a cool, cloudy morning. Now relaxing with coffee and some “me” time. Ran from an old spot today that I have not run in a year. Good to meet the old Starbucks staff friends after so long….

Another of those trick photography

Crystal clear day… Cloudless blue skies… Beautiful early morning sunlight. 5 mile run by the River Chattahoochee. Took a shot by the river with my iPhone while running. You can see the beautiful sky and the early sun hitting the trees.

What may not be immediately apparent is that what you are seeing is actually a reflection in the water. If you do not believe me, try turning the picture upside down!!!

Raghu, you may want to listen to Bob’s advice from last time and just keep you ipad on the table and go around the table 🙂

Building up on strength and endurance

After two Saturday 10-mile runs this month, wanted to see if I could speed up a little. Last two were 10:32 min/mile and 10:04 min/mile. Was targeting a 9:45 min/mile (about an hour and thirty eight minutes) today. Due to some incomprehensible enthusiasm, started too fast. Eventually paced it out to finish at 9:14 min/mile (an hour and thirty two minutes). I did have to take two water breaks and allow myself to catch up with my breath. I have no doubt that I am going to pay for this dearly tomorrow. It was an absolutely gorgeous spring day though!!
