New Week

6:15AM, dark out, on the road before the sun, by 6:30. There is just the faintest edge of cool to the air. Then, with the dawn, the permeation of humidity with heat begins. I do 9 miles today. A torture until more than midway when I finally seem to unfurl those legs. I want to push it just a bit, to convince my tired brain we have more than this old bag of bones to drag around. I am bringing health, experience, and inner strength to every mile. I need to keep my focus on attaining endurance. Staying on my feet is half the battle. The rest is won with time.
