"Uninspired"

That's why I almost....almost forgot to blog today. Funny thing though, I guess it's become such a habit that something doesn't seem right until I get it done. Somehow I always remember. I suppose it's a good habit at least eh? But I do admit to not having any ideas for the last couple of days and that probably impacts my anticipation as well

Anyway I had a much better long run today. You may remember that the last 2 times I struggled to complete 30 kms, but today I managed 37 in 3 hours 26 minutes. I was very much in control the whole way, and boredom was the biggest problem. Next week I will cut it back again probably to 25, and then the following week is Around the Bay in Hamilton(30k)...should be fun!

Despite the lack of inspiration on my part there is no lack of gratitude for each and every one of you who may be reading this. I cherish you all and wish all of lifes blessings on you.

I wish to dedicate day 178 to neighbour Alice. Despite her severe arthritus she's always out there taking care of her yard and such....with a smile and a happy word.
