El cheapo? Not so.

Came across another race I thought sounded good. $80 and change to enter, for 10 miles. You get a lot of swag for running...but, just to much for me. So I'm going with my earlier plan to just pick the races I'm interested in, find a route and conditions that are simular and run the equivalent miles on my own as close to the race date as I can. I'm not even sure why doing this matters other then allowing me to retain goals and motivation as-well-as track progress.
Now that the fog is lifting its time to find my center again. Thats hard to do when the race focus seems to settle on medals. So I set out once again on my journey for the spirit and sanity.
I went for a run on Wednesday and it felt great. It was barefoot of course, mostly sunny, 32 degrees. I was dressed in a black long sleeve shirt and tan cargo shorts. One funny thing that did happen during the run. I was passing by a track and two guys were walking there. They were dressed in running gear. As I passed the dude nearest me looked at me and grimaced. Not sure if he smelled or heard something he didn't like, but it was kinda funny thinking back on it.  Not many people wave to runners, even on a military post. Of course the post I run on is a really weird animal. Probably why I dont run there that often.
Anyway sleep is rolling in and I will take my leave for now. Thanks for reading.
