Running Milestone


For the first time, I've done a 10 mile run. I'm trying to build endurance and speed before fitness camp, plus I like the sense of accomplishment that comes from pushing myself.

It is easier to run with companions and now that I'm back from the big city, I'm running with my animal friends in the cemetery. My arrival each morning alerts the jackrabbits, and by the time I make it to the far corner on the first lap around the perimeter, they've bounded out into the safety of the desert. The cottontails, two kinds of quail, doves and house finches are left, providing me with entertainment and company as I log mile after mile.
