Another Ballston Loop Run

<!--enpts-->My run around Ballston loop in Arlington Virginia<!--enpte-->

 I missed the cold rain because I started the run quite late.

Ballston Loop in a Light Rain

<!--enpts-->Ballston Loop in a Light Rain<!--enpte-->

I am trying really hard to get back into running.  I love to run! Instead of being tempted by a Forerunner 305 or 405, I am using my Nokia N95 8GB in association with its GPS and Sports Tracker — and I love it! It is everything I need and it is also my phone and my media center and my podcast player and also a camera and video player. If you want to see my mad attempt at a daily run/walk, please feel free to stalk me and my online workout. Weather for Arlington, VA, 22203: 35°F, Rain.

I pretend I am in great shape on each run

I got a great comment from JOCKO over on my blog, “I love the ‘fake it ’til you make it’ slogan. I feel this way as I begin training for each marathon that I run. I always pretend I am in great shape on each run, and pretty soon it all comes together.” I know JOCKO and he is a world-ranked marathoner (#73 in Boston) — even he “fakes it” every day, on every run! Thanks JOCKO!
