I have not talked about my running in a while. Even with the emotional ups and downs I have had, I have not missed a day.... still running five miles (8 km) every day. Some days it is fun. Some days it is a struggle. But, I think I am now pretty safe (perhaps 90% safe) in thinking I can run every day OUTSIDE for the next several months. This is a very good thing for me. Being outside helps my emotions a great deal. I also tend to try to run faster when I am outside. Today, even though it was a pleasantly cool 38 degrees Farenheit (3 degrees Celsius) at the start of my run at 5:00am, I ran hard enough to have my sweat clothes literally soaked in sweat when I finished. My resting heart rate was 56 when I awoke and when I finished my 5 miles I recorded a 140 bpm which quickly slowed as I walked home.
The take home message for me is that I am happy to be able to predict being able to run outside every day now for several months!

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
You may have tweaked my interest
