Ran quickly over my lunch break. Had a certain path in mind.  I have a lot of paths – possibly hundreds –  worked out in my head of varied distances across the county where I live, based on all the thousands of miles I have run here.

Sometimes, you have to switch up your path for varied reasons – for example, today, an ornate curious looking gate that is normally closed, was open.  So of course I checked it out; I was not disappointed.  But then, a huge, scary looking dog was off leash – so, rather than take my chances, I turned and back tracked.  

All said, it was about 5k.  I recently wrote about testing my new awesome watch against my phone to see how far off they were after a weird race result.  Decided to test it one more time – cuz you know, data is data.  

Still a pretty close match.

Anywho – no matter what sort of run you are on today, literal or metaphorical – short or long – its good to have a plan in mind – and then – it imperative to be able to adapt and overcome when necessary.

Keep climbing.

Rock on.
