I didn’t feel like running today
So I opted for the trail right next to my house (instead of the well-paved road). Trails tend to distract me from pain, tiredness and break the monotony of running on paved roads. The weather was rainy, but in the forest you are like in a bubble, the drops barely get to you.
I used to run often on this trail 2 years ago, then somehow abandoned it. Today it was a nice re-acquaintance with the trail, barely any encounter with hikers (probably scared away by rain and muddy trail roads).
I kept thinking and silently telling myself “if you can run five miles in this moody, gray rainy weather, when every single cell in your body nags to stop, then you, my friend, are a lethal weapon in the animal kingdom”.
Job done. Day 34 in the pocket.
l hope tomorrow will be easier (but then whom I kidding).
