MOTIVATION

“Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.” Pre

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you. - William James

No News is Good News

Well Like I said, no news is good news and I dont have much to blog about here in the running blog. I have been blogging up a storm in my other one though so go read some good stuff there. ashleyrperry@blogspot.com

I have managed to run here and there, but my schedule has been busy seeing the sights and soaking in the rays over here in Istanbul. I have been trying to find a good time to run since the weather is so hot all of a sudden (they pretty much skip spring over here).  I can't really wake up early enough to go on a run since the kiddie are up and about around 7am. I have tried going early in the morning but it makes for one awful long and tiresome day. I can't go anytime throughout the day (unless there is a wind factor or some clouds) its too hot. So the evenings have been getting all my affection. I love and hate running in the evening here. First of all there is a huge hill that the sun goes behind so its still light but cools off very fast. This makes for a wonderful temperature for running. Then there is also a slight evening breeze along the seaside. Just perfect. The part I hate is that evenings are when there are the most people out an about along the seaside and messing around in the roads. I am not a big fan of running when being stared at but I have come to just ignore it and look like i dont care. 

So there is my update blog... short and sweet, no new news... I wish I was looking forward to a race or something cause it at least gives me a good reason to run everyday.
