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.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
Yesterday was his first attempt to run 3.1 miles without stopping.
The man in the yellow shorts (about five or six runners from the right) was last. The man in lime shorts was 12th. They are teammates.
If there was a gold medal for heart and perseverance, both would need one.
In fact, most of the runners are dedicated beyond logic.
It’s cool to witness.

Remember how hot yesterday afternoon’s football game was? You’ll be soaked in sweat by 8:30am today.
Defining moments may or may not have an expiration date. With that in mind, enjoy this morning’s first ever 5k run.
Two firsts:
Running three miles.
First competitive run.
Stay healthy, have fun.

Historically, the only time i drive to run is for a 5k race.
But we left the house at 5:40am this morning to drive to a Saturday High School Cross Country practice. That’s a new reason to drive to run – being part of a team.
Otherwise, i’m not a fan of driving to run. Time is precious.
PS. The 16-year old (as of yesterday) set two PR’s this morning:
Longest continuous run time at 31:30.
Longest distance without walking at 2.5 miles.
