Our church in Port Henry is five miles from home. So I ran home after church. I had never run five miles and wanted to push past that barrier. The route loses elevation overall; it is mainly long gradual downhill stretches with flats here and there and a few, very short climbs, and my right ankle hurt real good in the last mile. I ran it in 45.10.
It was a good morning for a run. Temps in the 40s, breezy, slightly overcast. There are a few points along the route where you can look down on Champlain. I stuck around after mass to stretch behind the pews. I like very much being alone in a Church, and it set my head before the run.
I feel that I should remark on run 50. There it is.
Peace, fellas.

Church then run. There's something there linking the two, but I'm not feeling eloquent enough to get at it.
Congrat's on run 50. A five miler is a nice milestone.
Five on fifty. Way to go! and a nice time to boot -- 9:02/mile by my calculation.
It's all spiritual -- two forms of communion on a Sunday, Both wrapped in the finite, but both linking us with the infinite and the timeless
. . . or something like that!
