Day 3,576 —Happy Cyndi Hasten Day! —

It was kind of odd that this was on the Webster Groves sign because when I looked her up, all I found was that Cyndi Hasten spent 50 years teaching in private schools, which might be unrelated to why she is being recognized today.

I mainly took the picture because I thought it was an interesting way to say it. Not “Happy Cyndi Hasten Day,” but instead “Today is Cyndi Hasten Day.” Like how you might say, “Today is my birthday.”

But it was a good run overall. I felt a little sluggish as I started but I was doing more hills. When I started the second hour, I was more determined to run at least 7 miles. I was able to run a little more, so I could slow down some as I finished out my 40-mile weekend.

I saw a lot of posts about people doing races this weekend, which made me both jealous and motivated. I had to get back out there and do a race before the one in April.

I cannot say I am still not disappointed, thinking about my last major races.
