Dusted off the ole running shoes, shook the cob webs off the legs muscles and went for a run this eve.  Ran down to the fitness center then ran two laps around the outdoor track, then back home.  Thought a lot about goals and desires for running.  Not much in the way of decisions, but thought a lot about it.  Some of my thoughts were about what was needed in order to reach my goal of BQ.  I know what needs to be done, I just have to find the commitment. 

Well, not a bad run.
