Today is the first of my easy Sunday recovery runs. I was supposed to run for 20 minutes at an easy slow pace. I think it is just to get our legs moving and to work out any soreness from our long runs on Saturday. It was beautiful tonight when I went out to run at 7. I tried to go slow and I felt like I was but every times I checked my speed on my watch (because yes I am a techno geek with a GPS on my arm) it said I was running between 9 and 9:45s. Ok that is not slow for me. That is what I was running yesterday. Hmmm maybe that will spread out as my normal run gets faster. Who knows. All I know is it felt great to be outside as the sun was sinking low in the sky covering everything in it's orange warmth. I think I am going to like these Sunday evening jogs. Night night kids.
This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories. Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs! This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was. :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave! That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out. ...
