Barbecue

First barbecue of the season coming up this afternoon, and I think it may be the hottest day of the spring so far (yes, all the way up to 80!). 

In preparation I ran this morning while it was still cool.  What I find amazing is how each run has its own story arc, similar to all past runs but different enough to keep it interesting.   In broadest terms, I guess the arc contains: pre-run/motivation - warmup - running and thinking - post-run.  Today I was quite aware of moving through the story, but barely aware of running.  Some variety of the "flow" state, complete with meta-perception while more or less effortlessly moving through the activity at hand.

Today: run 4 miles, 90 situps
