I'm not sure if it's the repetition of running in circles, or what, but I don't find much excitement there. But, I do like that there's an actual start line, and it's easier for a more accurate measure in distance (so I can eyeball the hash marks rather than squint at my Garmin in the sun). Glass half full?

This time, I had all the high school golfers (Barb's husband is their coach) and crazy wind. The wind totally made my hair a mess, the sun had me squinting, and the audio was patchy (again, due to the wind). So.....there will be several more video shoots tomorrow...after my run and (hopefully) before the forecast rain shows up LOL Never a dull moment!Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-55936015720221743822021-05-07T21:37:00.070-05:002021-05-07T21:37:00.070-05:00Sounds like a great plan of action!Sounds like a great plan of action!Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-76409232749073060852021-05-07T20:26:48.893-05:002021-05-07T20:26:48.893-05:00Congratulations on your mile trial!
