day 16255
on days when the weather takes an unexpected turn from what you expected, it’s best to adjust your plans forward to act in a way that will allow you to enjoy what comes from a transition in the weather.
with fall in motion, the past few mornings have been unexpectedly cold, but a few hours into the day, the sun has highlighted the colors of the foilage and provided the comfort that normally is expected of spring temperatures.
i had the opportunity to run for at least two hours and thirty minutes yesterday and the temperatures were just right through the entire run. my focus in the present has been to run daily burning 1000 calories, but this run was not focused on that, simply to have an enjoyable run with no focus in mind.
i set off from home and ran onto the tonawanda rails to trails. from there onto part of the empire state trail and back home. For the last two miles of the run, i thought about my half marathon time during the 2022 buffalo half marathon of 1:59:52, which was the first time I had run a half marathon in a race.
the weather yesterday, was similar, however I ended the run yesterday with a desire to go further, but decided to finish at home since I had not fueled during this run, since the goal was to just have an enjoyable run. i did fuel prior to the run and on the route there are many opportunities to stop on the trails or between them, for water or other electrolytes and i’ll be planning on carrying my custom blend made by infinit nutrition to allow me to increase my mileage to about three to three and a half hours.
thank you for reading and enjoy your day ahead!

Day 16,126
I started this morning with a 6.66mi walk. Starting today, I will be walking a minimum of 6 miles daily. I successfully, completed 30 days of walking everyday in May, with the exception of May 30, committing to the process, after having participated in a monthly step challenge in April.
The walk today started from home and brought me to the Amherst Bike Path. A cool, breezy and sunny morning.
Today, I’ll start adding running and cycling daily. With a scheduled training plan for running and simply planning on improving my power and skill on the bike, June will serve as a time to remain committed to walking, while building the consistency needed in two other disciplines that I’ve been enjoying.
Enjoy your day!

one day.
sunday!
how we spend time living requires us to spend time on how we want to live. i spent today delving into using wordpress to learn, and design, with the purpose of building a space that serves as a reflection of how i spend time living. in having a dedicated platform to share these experiences through through text and photos, the focus is on sharing the moments, places and people that enrich my experience and my perspective on living. in viewing the entries, whether reading an excerpt about the day or viewing an image, may they provide insight into a perspective for which you can relate or that broadens your perspective between the world each of us live.
