Building a base..

Building a base.... It may just be my positive spin, my jubilant outlook, on the fact that I have not felt like running, or running far that is, what I so loved last year, disappearing for hours "out". So rather, I am running fast, and frequently.  For a week at my last house-sitting home, I ran 3.6 miles 3 out of 4 days.  I was faster than I thought, finishing around 29 minutes each time, and yes that felt good. Day after day, just getting out. But that is the thing, just getting out didn't always feel like such a decision. And I know just around the corner, is another home, another place, another trail or person that will inspire and uplift, and I will be floating out the door. But until then, in my new home, my current house-sit, I will run a few miles on the roads, BLM or paved, to overlooks or stop signs. I even took my bike out today, a short ride of 7-10 miles, but the sunshine was just torturing me and beat the urge I have had to stay indoors, to finish off whatever this funk is that I am in. Besides, it is building a base from which to grow, and on cool barely spring days, Tom Robbins' is great company.
