Week Five

The beginning of Week Five makes me think that the time is really starting to draw near when there will be nothing but difficult runs ahead of me:  fast runs, long runs, and steep runs.  Today's workout was a steep run - running up Big Bearpen, down to Fifth Street, and then up to the summit again, for a total of seven miles.  But I had Jim and Tanya to help me the first time, and the expectation of a glorious view the second time.  What a great morning to run!  There was a cool breeze nearly all the way, and the view of Whiteside at the top was as splendid as ever.

So it is time for an inspirational quote seen in Runners World, which (my turn) I wrote on our little blackboard in the kitchen reserved for such purposes.
