Moose

This week has been busy. I have upped my mileage to about 25 miles a week and next week I start a training plan for a 10k. I am going to try the runner's world fastest 10k plan and am excited to start speed work again. Today I went out for a 6 mile run, I really struggled at first. I just had a hard time mentally, my mind has been spinning lately. I have had family issues and had just heard some really sad news at bible study. I had to walk a couple of times in the first couple of miles. I thought about stopping but I just kept pushing and finally found some peace in the last couple of miles. I also saw a moose laying in someone's yard about 50 feet from where I was running. That made me get up the hill without stopping! I didn't see a baby with her so I thought I was safe but I didn't want to take any chances. This is the third moose I have seen on my runs. The first time was a giant bull moose, he was about 100 yds away laying in the willows. Seeing them so close does make the heart speed up and makes you run a little faster!
