12.57 miles (total: 2094.5 miles)
I haven't written in nearly 1.5 months, but that doesn't mean I have stopped running. I just didn't feel like writing. That's an honest answer. I've felt that I "deserved" to let myself to just not write, but just run. So I ran, not as insanely as before, but for pure joy, no pressure, no accountability, no tracker, just run whenever I felt like it. It felt good.
Lot's things happened since I've stopped the daily running streak, I got sick, I went to the emergency care, I got infection, I got sick again... One year and no sickness, and then I take a "running pause" and all this happens. Should keep running :)
Today I kicked ass. I ran beautifully today. The trails were empty, the shade was there the entire time, I felt like I was flying - good running. So good that I wrote a poem in my head after 2 hours on the trails..
Dear Running,
I know one thing is real
I fell in love with you.
A love so deep that I can't give you up.
And so I run.
Some days good and some days bad.
All I know is that whatever I bring
Pounding on the asphalt or the soft trail
I am giving it all that I have.
And when I am away from you for too long,
I cannot bear it.
Love you always,
- Bored Runner
