Day 19 - Trotting

Do you know what I mean when I say totem animal?
'An Animal Totem is an important symbolic object used by a person to get in touch with specific qualities found within an animal which the person needs, connects with, or feels a deep affinity toward. ' Read More 
Well I have many encounters with one of my totem animals a 'stallion/horse' in the last few years and I have to say today was no exception!
Dad told me I had to have an easy run today, let my body rest and just enjoy the scenery so I decided to think of this as more of a trot than a run...so I trotted out the front door and left for my daily jont.
The training was pretty low key today, the only real excitement was a cute little bunny that hopped across the path in front of me, for a wild animal it had the most fluffiest white tail I have ever seen.
It's so great to connect with nature each day, it relaxes you, relieves any stress, opens your eyes to beautiful world around us and gives you a great start to the day. I would highly recommend you find a sport or set a goal for yourself that you have only wished you could do. Think back when you were a child and think of what made you excited, fulfilled and happy. I know the next sport I'm getting back into is Dancing once I've reached this marathon goal. Whether you are trotting, biking, skiing, swimming or playing golf get outside and enjoy the fresh air. You won't be disappointed.
Overall today ended with a 3 mile, 4.89 km in 31:26, avg pace 6:26/km burned 422 cal, avg heart rate of 165 bpm Excited I get to trot again tomorrow!
