December 3-

When the rain finally subsided today, I went over to the cinder track for an “After Rain Run”.  I have always found these moments to be the most exhilarating. It had been raining for probably six or seven hours. The air was fresh and clear. The temperature hovered around 45°. The cinder track surface was forgiving but not soft or mushy.  I very quickly decided that this was going to be a meaningful run. I pushed on for 5 miles  in 62 minutes with 18 speed segments and relished every moment along  the way.  When I checked the stats on my computer after the run, I noted that as the time per mile got faster along the way my heart rate got lower simultaneously.  I conclude from that data that my aerobic fitness is improving.  But most of all I am thankful that at age 79 I can experience such a wonderful moment on a Saturday afternoon in December.
