St. Patrick’s Day

Jen is running her tempo at a casual pace of high 6:20’s. The morning sun is lost in a shroud of cloudiness. The dankness to the air, a cool humidity, is a ruse as we know now the afternoon unfolds into sunshine. However, in this moment of the work-out Jen has no clue how the day will unfold and so embraces the training for what it can deliver. She patiently tempers away a 5k, finishing in 20:12, with trainers stepping across the line marking the relaxed intensity. In respect to what she accomplished, there was nothing spectacular. The pace was relatively comfortable and the time was expected. However, in the spirit of the day she was lucky, to be out there running, to be out there training when it comes right down to it just to be out there.
