Just a two-miler
Back to the healthy habit
My legs will be sore

“Running” Cedar Park, 2024
Run Along the Strand
“Torrance Beach” Torrance, 2023
I went for a long run on the Strand to close out the year on a high note, and I took my Insta360 X3 camera with me to take some footage for a video. Please watch if you have some time!
“Pier End” Manhattan Beach, 2023
One thing that I found interesting is that even though I ran a distance of 13+ miles, it seemed much shorter since there were so many interesting things to look at. The time just flew by!
Nostalgic Run
“HS Selfie” Torrance, 2023
I went for a long run today around my hometown to see some nostalgic sights, including my old high school. It still looks the same as when I went there 40 years ago, but there are more fences and locks for security, and a new softball field. But I did the loop around the campus, which is one of the runs we used to do when training for cross-country. It was a lot more fun this time around! (I didn’t enjoy running when I was in high school )
I also found a few cool leaves. I’ll use them as bookmarks.

A Rainy Run
“Rainy Weather’ Cedar Park, 2023
Today’s run was very short because it was drizzling a bit. I didn’t enjoy it as much as usual, but the fresh air was nice and definitely needed. 😄
Best Run
“New Shoes” Cedar Park, 2023
Today I had one of the best runs ever. It started off just like any other, even a bit too cold for me, but soon I was just cruising along. I had so much energy, and the songs that were appearing from my playlist were perfect. A mix of energetic, nostalgic, and feel-good. I was smiling almost the whole run!
“Railway” Cedar Park 2023
In fact, I waved at pretty much all the runners that I saw. I think the combination of morning coffee and two day’s worth of mashed potatoes and stuffing gave me a ton of energy, and I didn’t feel any aches or pains other than the normal muscle soreness. My shoulder usually starts hurting at about 6 miles, but I didn’t feel any pain the whole run!
“Open Road” Cedar Park, 2023
I’m not a fast runner, but today I felt like I was on cruise control. It was lik my second wind kicked in early and never let up. I guess I was experiencing the proverbial runner’s high as well, and I only stopped for drink of water and to stretch.
I mentioned that the music was perfect today, and one of the songs that gave me the most energy was Venus by Hitomi. And I realized that playing the air drums while running is so much fun! 😂
I honestly can’t remember a better run that today’s. It felt so good. And I ended up setting a half-marathon PR. Woohoo!!
