Workout: Easy: Recommended Pace (10:52)

• Overall Average Pace: 10:41
• I'll be the first to admit that running 10:00 minute plus paces is frustrating for me to record, but I know that they serve a purpose both physically and mentally. My fitness level is returning. These easy workouts are easy once again which in turn provide my body and mind a rest. 
• Also, I struggle a great deal with comparison on this running blog. Since we are shelter-at-home, I am taking advantage of the many free learning opportunities. One such opportunity is a Yale University online course entitled the Science of Well-Being. It has been very beneficial. In the course, the instructor talks about how our minds judge relative to reference points. Since bloggers on average are faster than I am, my intuitions mistakenly discourage me from my own runing accomplishments. Savoring, the practice of stepping out of an experience to review and appreciate it, is very beneficial to help with this annoying feature of our minds.

I marched peacefully in my town's Black Lives Matter Rally. There was a huge turnout with community leaders and police officers united in searching for better solutions and long-term outcomes. It was heartwarming to experience my town coming together As each speaker spoke, we were reminded that our town always rallies behind diversity. That is a surprisingly true statement.
