7.11 miles (total: 1384.48 miles)
Daily running has been a test of me as a person on top of a test of me as a runner. As a runner I am definitely improving :) as a person, I will let others decide, but I happen to enjoy myself. Sometimes I amuse myself.
Nearly every day, when running I am driving myself to the point of wanting to give up and then not giving up. There is no experience quite like it. In that moment of “raw reality”, when something inside you asks how bad do you want it? be it a killer hill or a long distance an inner curtain is drawn open, revealing a part of you that is not seen except in moments of crisis.
And when you decide and commit to keep pushing (even though there is this never-ending whisper in your ear - "Quiiiiiiiiiiit", and you still don't stop and keep running and finish that damn hill you come away from the run with the kind of self-knowledge and self-respect that can’t be bought. I am nearly in tears every time this happens.
The pictures below are in reverse order - from finish (dark) to start (light). Great thing the days are finally getting longer, so I get to experience gorgeous sunsets during the runs!
One day away from 240.
