Great RAOK and Tough Run Day

This morning I had a great RAOK. Usually my RAOK's are picking up trash along the road, putting away shopping carts, hanging up clothes from the floor at stores, etc. But this morning when I was at Walmart shopping, there was an elderly gentleman in an electric wheelchair that I saw trying to reach for something on the shelf. I asked him if I could help and he was grateful. I ended up shopping with him for the next 20 min, getting what he needed for him, debating name brand vs generic, etc. he must have been a bit lonely as well because he shared a lot about himself and asked me questions about my family. I think both of our mornings were 100 times better than planned! I know I walked away feeling great.

This afternoon I went for a 4 mile run. The longest I normally run is 2 miles. And my legs and feet will back me up on that statement! I really applaud those 60+ yr olds that run marathons...or even 5Ks! My upper thighs hurt, I got a stitch in my side, my feet were throbbing.... Thank goodness Roxy was with me and is such a joyful runner. Otherwise I would have convinced myself I needed to stop and walk. I need to keep doing some linger runs, but I dread them!
