Steppin' It Up A Bit

Start of another week and my early morning shift at work necessitates that I do my workout in the evening after work. That was a dicey proposition here!

We have been experiencing severe summer thunderstorm activity here in Montana so I was not able to get out on the trail...both due to excessive mud and the threat of nasty lightning strikes.

Since I'm not looking forward to getting struck by lightning I did today's run on the asphalt streets of Great Falls. Would rather not do that in the summertime...but whatever it takes. Right?

Got a lot of getting ready to do so stepped up my workout today to an 8 mile run.....and didn't even get rained on. :-)

Eight miles was a bit of a stretch and I did have to walk a couple of times for a short distance. Overall it was a great workout and I was able to finish pretty strong.

Tuesday is my day off so am planning to get a both a swim in and a 12 mile bike ride. If I can finish the day with a short run that would be fantastic! However, it's supposed to rain off and on all day tomorrow so don't know if I will be able to get everything done.

Today's dividends?
Cash dividend.....fantastic! Today's run netted four pennies and a quarter. 29 cents.
Physical dividend - Difficult but still priceless!
