Double Run to Clear the Mind

Physically I didn't feel like running this evening, but emotionally I needed it. I'm helping to move my mom out of the condo she's live in for about 9 years. We have thrown away lots of stuff, gone through a lot of memories in the form of photos and given away many possessions. I boxed up a bunch of my old running memorabilia and took it to Heart & Sole Sports that my high school coach co-owns. I dropped it off and said he and the store are welcome to it. I would love to see some of the pictures hung, medals given away or displayed and posters displayed. I have little use for them and I don't want to burden my mom with carting them around.

When I called it a day from moving stuff, I put on the shoes and ran along the creek near the condo complex. I used to run there a lot on morning runs because it was close and flat. I used to run really hard along that creek in the pitch black before school knowing I was putting in the miles and my competitors were sleeping. This evening was much different as my legs were shot from the 37k of hills that left me exhausted. However, it was good to shake the legs out and I felt better both physically and emotionally afterward.
