Independence Day Run

The thought of running four miles on the 4th of July didn't occur to me until well after I completed my 6 mile run at midday. We took the family to breakfast in downtown McKinney and then hung around for the parade. It was fun, a nice small-town feel to it in the downtown square, and breakfast was excellent as well. The sun was shining brightly by noon, which is about when I started my run. I walked a minute at every mile marker. Not sure I needed to do so, but it helped at the end when I ran all the way up the big hill on Lake Forest. Now to relax and do very little for the rest of the day in order to properly celebrate our nation's independence.
