I know those crazy mind games we have to play with ourselves on the long ones. <br /><br />I'm still running on the treadmill in the mornings because the neighborhood bear insists on hanging around :-( But when I do run the neighborhood, Orion is right in front of me when I set out this time of year, so I always say good morning to him. I keep dropping hints to DH to get me a custom running shirt with that constellation on it and the caption "Orion is my running buddy!" I'll have to show him this comment later, or do you think that would be too obvious...?

Its just such a good description of what we do almost every day regarding our exercise and/or food choices. That's how you do it--just keep going, one decision at a time. I'm totally impressed with you, though, that you decided to keep going and get that whole long distance in. Love that you saw a shooting star. I don't go outside often enough at night any more, but when I do remember to look up, LOVE seeing all the stars and trying to pick out constellations!<br /><br />Oh. And men in hoodies in the dark? They should be outlawed, I tell you. It could be an addendum to the motorcycle helmet law, don't you think?debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-86563806997724617952014-11-05T08:42:40.715-06:002014-11-05T08:42:40.715-06:00Cooler weather definitely makes you faster but wha...Cooler weather definitely makes you faster but what I love most about this is I think you've proved to YOURSELF that you can push a bit more and be faster. Good to know and worth the soreness!<br /><br />I was just thinking as I ran this morning that the one consolation in Daylight Savings Time is for a few weeks I'll get to have the last bit of my run as dawn breaks. :)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-38673880224293484502014-11-05T06:58:18.110-06:002014-11-05T06:58:18.110-06:00Wow that was cool what you saw!

I always look up to the stars on my late night walk with Bella if it's a clear night.<br /><br />Applause for you for finishing your long run on your own. I think it's a combination of the things you mentioned that you were faster. And you were mentally very strong for not taking short cuts. Well done my friend.
