Compromise is the only option sometimes

This is harder than it looks, and i love it.

 

So the indefinite vacation from running lasted about two months, roughly until school let out around June 1. Since then, i became our son’s running partner. All Summer long we ran with the Windermere Runner’s Club two mornings a week at the high school. The other three days, we ran from home: not much running to speak of, and this is why i got back into running – it was easy running and our son needed the support, guidance, and encouragement.

A walk in the park Sunday morning was leisurely and enjoyable. We had no pressing issues to handle. We had time on our hands.

The challenge is what to do on the 99.9% of our days when that is not the case.
