Day 2 (Tuesday)

Tuesday

I ran this morning! When I work up 6:30, of course the thought went through my head that sleeping is a much better option than going out to run. But, I brought my running clothes and would hate for that extra weight and space to go to waste! For the first time in an of my travels where I took workout clothes, I actually worked out.

When I went outside, there was a guy stretching. We talked for a moment and started to run together. He is in better shape than I am but was gracious to run at my pace. At the 2 mile mark, his halfway, we turned around and I told him to go ahead. I needed a breather! So, I walked for a few minutes watching him disappear down the hill. Then I ran back. It was a bit slower, but it just felt good to run.

Breakfast this morning was quiet and solitary. I had a quiet time, meditating on a recent sermon from Church. My big goal for this year is to have a consistent quiet time. Perhaps today was Day 1?

We do not really have internet at the hotel, so I am writing everything offline, to put it online when I go to the local internet café.
