The above photo was taken at the Chattanooga Valley Baptist Church Trunk or Treat event from this past weekend. The vehicles were lined up around the asphalt track at the church where I often run. This is where I ran today.
Just a short run, but I’m kinda glad. My legs, especially the calves, were feeling a little tight. Not sure why, but they felt fine after the midway point of my run. I wore the heart monitor which had me running a slightly slower pace than Monday’s run. I ran the 3 miles in 34 minutes. I’ll be doing my long run of 7 miles tomorrow. Not sure where I will run, but I’d like to avoid any of the typically small loop courses I’ve been running.
As I passed a couple older gentlemen walking the track today one of them jokingly said to me that he wished I’d come out later and not make the two of them look bad for walking. Given that they were both probably 70 or older I responded, “I’m only doing what I’m doing now so that when I’m your age I can do what you’re doing.” I only hope that getting fit now will allow me to get out and exercise when I’m 25 years older.
