Today’s Run: \u00a050 min lifting at the “Y”<\/p>\n

Today is Thursday and it is my one of two days of the week that I do not run. \u00a0Instead, I go to the “Y” and lift. \u00a0Many runners do not lift. \u00a0They think that it bulks them up and slows them down~and to be honest, I am a little bulky~and slow, so there may be some truth to that. \u00a0But current research is showing that upper body strength is helping with endurance when your legs “poop out”. \u00a0So, I will continue to go to the “Y” and lift on Tuesdays and Thursdays. \u00a0Not due to that report that I read but because I like it!<\/p>\n

Anyway, slow and bulky I that I am, I still need a ride home when I am done. \u00a0My husband and I have gotten into the routine of traveling into town together. \u00a0He goes and buys a donut or runs some errands while I get all hot and sweaty. \u00a0When I am done, he picks me up and we toddle on home together. \u00a0It is a nice arrangement.<\/p>\n

I am able to see our church steeple from the “Y” parking lot. \u00a0Today while I was waiting for my husband to pick me up, I looked at our church. \u00a0Wow! \u00a0I grabbed my phone as fast as I could and this is what I saw…aside from the power pole, you could see the sun rays breaking right on top of the church steeple. \u00a0Pretty cool and\u00a0definitely lost in the translation of cell phone to laptop but still pretty cool.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
