Running in Branson

This past week I was on a little vacation with my family and some friends. And as most people know, vacations interfere with regular routine. So, while I was planning on getting at least two runs in while vacationing, I only managed to get in one. And a hilly one it was! I mean they were whopper-like hills! I had a great workout running them. It was beautiful and the weather was perfect.

For the past three years, we've gone to the same resort and so I was familiar with the course. I did not measure it in distance, but I ran for a good 40 minutes and probably ran at least 3 1/2 miles.

When we arrived back home last evening, I decided to bolt out the door and get in another run. I ran my usual 4 mile course and was happy to be on it again. By the time I got back home it was dark out, but I sure felt good. Every now and then, evening runs have a special place in my heart! Though they are few and far between, they seem to take on an entirely different feeling. I enjoyed my evening run very much!

It is now Sunday, the start of a new week. I hope to get a better running total than last week. And even though I only ran once while I was gone, two days of walking around Silver Dollar City made me feel like I wasn't sloughing off too bad!
