Running and Noisy Katydids

I am behind in my blogging. And even now, I'm pressed for time. This will be short and sweet.

Unfortunately,I did not get in 5 miles on Saturday as I had hoped. But it wasn't because I wimped out, I just didn't have the time. I was working on a policy handbook for school and had computer issues. It just took me longer to get the project done. But 4 miles is still good and as I ran I couldn't believe how noisy those katydid creatures are! They were breaking my concentration and efforts at prayer, but I kept trying to focus. I was trying to pray a lot for our church service for that evening. I did feel really good on my run. I picked up the pace due to the time crunch and decided that those katydids were either joining me in prayer with their "Amens!" or they were cheering me on as I ran!

They were there again yesterday as I ran another 4 miles. For whatever reason, I had a slow start. Just couldn't seem to get going until almost half way through the course. I felt sluggish and my legs just felt heavy. I pressed through it as those katydids once again cheered me on. I had to laugh at my silliness to think that these tree insects were actually watching this poor pathetic runner huffing and puffing with lead for legs plod through the heat. Oh well, whatever works! At least I found myself finally getting into my runninng rhythm!

Maybe, tomorrow I will try for 5.
