On the NE side of Toby, nice place to go when there are strong winds out of the SW. Managed to run up the hill. Forgot my 305, the route from a run a couple of years ago.
I think maybe a good short-term goal -- where the whole point of the goal is just some motivation to get out the door -- would be to see if I can keep to up to Lyn at one of the Forest Park 5K runs that start up in about a month. That may take some doing.
Longer-term, well, I hit a round number on January 1, so O' on foreign soil needs to be part of the plan. Maybe one more try the O'Ringen? Or maybe some country we haven't been? Maybe Brazil? Guess I need to look at what's available. Not too much longer we'll be doing this stuff, so best to get at it.

Note
Interesting round yesterday. For some reason I decided that it was time to see if I could improve my mental game, see if I could get through the round without any mental mistakes (physical mistakes are a given). You would think that would be automatic -- you have plenty of time to think, so no excuse to make poor decisions.
But, as I really paid attention to what my choices were, and the possible consequences of each choice, I found myself changing my mind from my initial choice probably 10 or 15 times -- what club to hit, what kind of shot to hit, which side to err on if the shot wasn't hit perfectly, how much to risk or play safe. And pretty much every time the outcome was better than what the likely outcome of the original choice would have been. I think there is a lesson there.

Same as yesterday in the other direction.
Plus mowing leaves and hoofing it around the golf course, but that stuff doesn't count.

Hmm, seems like the last time I did a training run was 6 weeks ago. So time for another one!
And I decided not to worry about how slow I was going or how short the run was, because it was better than nothing.
