Day 3172 —Running in Street Clothes— with the GLOW of the SUNSET between TREES

    I decided to go for a run while wearing what clothes I had on: sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a red jacket. It was refreshing to go for a run without spending a lot of time getting ready. On my way home, I stopped by CVS and bought some Gatorade. I didn't really need it, but it was a nice treat. It made me realize how much I enjoy running as part of my regular routine and how changing clothes and taking a shower afterward can take up a lot of time. I've been thinking about how I need to start planning more strategically for my next race. I've already decided to eat a very clean diet for the next few weeks, including more vegetables, especially broccoli, which always makes me feel better. Now that my body knows how good broccoli makes me feel, I do crave it, not because of the taste (although I do enjoy the taste), but how I feel afterwards is what I am after.
