Surry to Walpole

    Distance: 8.79    Time: 1:38:43

The run I've been dreading ALL WINTER.   Once we drove up Joslin road on a scouting drive I knew this was going to be tough.  The last time I remember running a 14:30 mile with effort was a long long time ago when competing in the Mount Washington race.

​

So Joslin definitely put me in my place, but it was also a reminder that this isn't about how fast I go, but by the effort I put in.  I gave all I had and that's all I could ask.

​

Beautiful spring day around 60 with the promise of warmer days ahead.  This run is the first time I've seen my Apple Watch record over 100 flights of stasirs - and believe me I felt every one of them.

I took plenty of stops along the way to take pictures.  This was the most scenic route today and I soaked it in.   Love the outdoor Sauna.   I am happy to say that today did not deter me from pushing ever forward.

I posted a blog today titled "Glory Days".  I hope you give it a read - it helps bring today into focus.

So glad this one's in the books!   On to Alstead.
