Be Beauty, Be Strong, Be Me

COVID-19, “The Rona Era”

Whew, made it to another Friday. Today the weather will be in the high 50s. But right now it’s in the high 30s for Fridays a.m. run. I made the mistake of sending out emails and answering emails before I ran. I didn’t leave the house until 6:23 a.m. I was determine to run a 10k today. I was layered up and had a strong stride but my stupid app kept on self pausing. I would un pause it and it would pause again. This was the ongoing battle I had while running. The running app had 6.03 miles but I know I ran more. Friday’s run was a mixture of running and walking. The first half was 3.75 miles of running. Because I left late, when my VP called me it was 7:30 a.m. I had to walk and talk with her. Then my friend Angie called and I continued to walk and talk for a total of 2.28 miles.

I had to stop myself and say “ what’s my hurry?” It was nice morning, the sun was coming up over constitutional beach, the stalkers were out, and words of encouragement lined the streets of east boston. In spite of my app malfunction, I stil achieve my goal of a 10k.
