A phone conversation with Dad

Crazy to look at miles over a month. I know this isn’t the most I have run in a month but seeing 135 miles and 10k….almost 11k feet of gain kinda freaked me out. 20 hours of running. Yikes. Kinda makes my brain hurt. On the other hand that is the only thing that makes my brain relax these days.

My Dad called literally as I was about to start my run. I asked him if he wanted to go for a run with me or if I should call him back in an hour. He said to call him back but then he started talking and I started running. 6 miles later plus some walking and some whiskey later our conversation ended. I am thankful he does most of the talking. I was surprised at how fast my pace was though. I did 7:35/mile which is pretty fast for me. I just wasn’t thinking much about it and letting my body go.

We had a nice conversation. He was pretty surprised I was able to hold a conversation with him while I was running that far. Ultimately he is kinda freaking out about this whole COVID-19 thing….which I think we all are to a certain extent. I go back and forth on it. Quite honestly, I am more concerned about peoples reactions than the actual virus itself. Only time will tell what will happen.

Go back and look at my last few posts….I’m not going to but I bet I’ve ended at least two of my last 10 posts with that sentence. Just sayin’.
