VT Dad’s fight vs. inertia & flab

This morning was rainy.  Luckily it was mostly drizzling when I went for my run.  It was 45F, 7C, calm and still dark when I set out on my 10 mile run.  I wore a long sleeve shirt, hat, and gloves.  I still wore shorts, my legs enjoyed the fresh air, and I didn’t get too wet or too cold during this run.  I ran well, and had a great time.  There were some monster puddles out, and luckily I was running early enough that I could venture out into the middle of the road to avoid them.  I ran up to the High School, where 3 of my kids attend.  It was the first time since winter that I ran this route.  2 Roads that I travel are very busy, and I need access to a sidewalk.  During winter the sidewalk was too icy for my liking, so I just avoided those roads, and altered my routes accordingly.  I really enjoyed my run, although my sad song: I don’t Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats crept into my head during parts of the run.  Each of my miles were sub10:00.  Later today I will venture downtown for one of the signs of spring, free cone day at Ben and Jerrys.  Have a great day everyone.
