What I Miss the Most

So this is literally my mind running….running wild I guess. I have almost everything I want in my life right now….almost everything that is…so why is it that I often find my mind wandering back and thinking of all the things I don’t have anymore. I guess some of these things are things that you just out grow after awhile. Others are things that I look forward to having again in the future. This is not meant to be depressing; instead I am grateful I once had these things to miss now. Good times…good good times my friends.

Where to start….

I miss sitting on the same side of the booth….sharing a bottle of wine, deep conversation and the occasional public display of affection.

Treadmill VS. Pavement

Tuesday night I hit another PR at 18 miles! The furthest I had gone prior to this was 16.2. The biggest difference between these two runs was my location. Brace yourselves people, you may not believe this, but I ran the 18 miles on a treadmill! Yup, thats right, a treadmill at Sch’dy Best Fitness! Actually, two treadmills; because after 12 miles I moved to one on the other side of the gym to switch my surroundings up a bit! Thank God for my IPOD! To my surprise, the following 2 days were not as painful as I had expected. Usually I’m somewhat crippled after my long runs. Have I just become that awesome? Or was it because I usually run outdoors?
