A Second Day of Rest

I took Sunday off too, which was needed after TPB. I couldn't sleep in, because I had the kids and they're a good bit of a drive away, but I got to bed plenty early the day before.

The day was cool and crisp with clear sunny skies and some clouds, much like a fall day back home. I brought the kids to the park to play Frisbee and noticed the grass had been marked out for a cross country race. Not just any cross country race, but the Foot Locker National High School Championships. Now if that's not cause for nostalgia, I don't know what is.

I've been thinking more about the then vs the now and, yes, motivations got a lot to do with it, but that's not the only thing. I was younger and more resilient then too, but that's not exactly it either. I just don't have a base. I've jumped into this thing all intensity and no base mileage. I've got no long slow distance in the bank.

So tomorrow I hit the reset button and we'll see how it goes.
