5.7 miles (total: 1334.52 miles)
I love running so much. You could take away pretty much everything else in my life right now, minus family and friends, and as long as I can run every day, I’ll be a net positively happy human. And happy humans are usually good humans, right? :)
I love the never-ending process of running in this Bored Runner year. How every day is seemingly insignificant, just one hour out of 24. Or if I am lucky, more. Daily runs are just a blip of time that I could practically forget about. Yet, when I zoom out on a week, a month, a 100 days, 200 days – all of those blips become a force in life. It has been so important, so molding and close - not to my legs, which yes, are strong, but close to my soul.
Running touches the deepest parts in a way that’s simultaneously disturbing - how the heck did you get here?! – but also comforting and grounding. When I chose to let the process take over the minutiae of day to day, to not obsess over each mile and hour, to let months of daily running "just do their thing", this submission to the grander scheme has allowed me to truly enjoy each individual run. From accepting the process, I’ve learned to focus on the beauty of each unique, imperfect run. I’m obsessed.
Let's see what the rest of the year brings :) So far - AWESOME!
