Another 3 miles in the books and strong 3 miles at that. Due to work and other obligations #running in the daylight is becoming harder to do. Running at night seems to be a thing for the future. It was rather cool out tonight so slipped on an old favorite race day shirt. I don't know how I managed to keep this one this long but it's one of my favorites. This was my 3rd half marathon shirt (10 gears ago). They don't even have the Mardi Grad marathon anymore. It's the RocknRoll now. It feels amazing being able to run consistently again. Over the next month I will working on building my mileage back up. I'm a long way from being in peak condition however, soon enough I will be there. Patience is key. #run #runner #runningislife #runaholic #runepic #runamazing #runners #runnersofinstagram #runnersofig #runnerscommunity #instafitness #instafit #runtastic #rungreat #runbatonrouge #runlouisiana #run225 #halfmarathontraining #halfmarathon #fundraiser #13point1 #marathon #marathontraining #runners #enjoytherun #rungreat

Well that is another 3.1 steady miles in the books. This brisk 5k was strong. My body feels amazing no tenderness or soreness. Did a great stretch routine before my run that loosened everything up before hitting the pavement. With the cooler weather I'm not drenched at the end of my runs like during the summer time. However, in South Louisiana that can change by the hour. Lol. After this week if everything goes well enough it will give me plenty of time to start training for a half marathon and possible marathon I have my eyes on. Fingers crossed. #run #runners #runnerlife #runner #runnersofinstagram #runnersofig #instafitness #instafit #runsperation #runamazing #runaholic #runnerscommunity #runepic #runlouisiana #runbatonrouge #rungreat #geauxrun #running #runningweather #runningislife

I had planed on writing about something different this evening... but then I went to the mail box and found out that my signed copy of Brian Burk's book Running to Leadville had come in. I haven't been able to put it down since!! I met Brian through one of the Colorado Trail Running sites, he is a friend of one of the members of COR (Colorado Obstacle Racers) and he was introduced to me after I had posted some questions about ultra running. Leadville is a dream of mine and I wanted to hear the stories that someone who has been there had to tell.

So far I can say that Brian has a great voice and weaves a captivating story. I will warn you the first five chapters are a bit sad so expect some tears. I'm now truly wondering how much of this book is fiction and how much stems from real life.

Finally, I have never read a book before that came with a  thank you note. I must say it is a bit different!! I do love the inscription he put into my book (I will post pictures once I'm done reading.)

It said:

If you run you can Fly... #RunEpic

I can't wait to finish reading Running to Leadville. I don't think it will take me very long, as I said I'm having trouble walking away from it! I will post more once I'm done.
