Lovely how much more peaceful life is after a jog. We are at sea level more or less, the Oregon weather is cool, 60s right now, and damp, so the thirty minutes seemed much easier than it did a few weeks ago in the desert plateaus. So nice to be able to leave doorstep with no real knowledge of what Ill be seeing. Neat big ol' squirrels this morning, some bluebirds and yellow finch type birds along w an old cabin, some neat campsites...hope my body and mind can keep this up. Trying for two half hour runs plus a "distance" run per week. (thanks, MC) three weeks in and at five miles in 68 minutes. Don't care bout time as much as making the distance increase weekly.
