Just run

To my surprise the boardwalk was open.  I'm not sure who keeps locking the gates but I wonder what the reason is.  Focus for the day was just keeping one foot in front of the other.  Finished right around 6.  I was happy with the effort.  The jog helped to eliminate some of the eating that began on Saturday and just continued up until bed time on Monday.  One day I'm going to have to run the exact route for time and see what I get, but for now just getting out the door is enough.

Got the first mile in at 8:50.  Looking to get another couple of miles in after work.  We'll see though because those after work miles always seem to be interupted with something "more pressing."  Didn't feel like running that single mile either, but it is amazing what happens when you just start moving and decide to keep moving until you reach what you set out to do.  Still felt the after effects of binge eating over the weekend, but everything still works.  For now.

2.5 miles sprinkled in with a few short sprints.  Last man up run.

Never did make it back out the door in the evening.  I did get to spend some wonderful time watching my oldest play in the park.  She enjoyed running around with a playmate until it was dinner time for him.  Afterwards, she sparked a tantrum in another playmate who is still learning to share.  Tip my hat to his father for not giving in to his demands, but we took off a little early so he could enjoy his playtime as well.

Woke up early enough to get two laps in and pay off some bills.  Got dropped off at work because everyone, except the little one, was wide awake.  Just not feeling it this morning, but just keep getting out the door until I feel like it will eventually work.

Beautiful morning for a run.  Had a nice breeze to aid me in my efforts.  Still felt last night's dinner in my gut (Taco Bell).  I think once I get serious about my diet, I'll see the result I'm looking for.  In fact, I'm sure of it.

One day I will figure out the mystery behind the gate schedule, but today is not that day.  Gates were closed once again.  I guess that's why I run because I can bypass the closed gates faster running than I can walking.  Or I could just jump the fence.

For the next three weeks, looking to run 3 miles a day six times a week.  Anything over that is just a bonus.
