Is there greater pleasure after running 3 miles non-stop than dipping a chocolate chip cookie into a cup of coffee :)
It's been a while since I ran 3-miles non-stop, and I'm pretty excited. I really like the work out place, and the fact that it's just one more metro stop past my home. The walk from the work out place to my home is about 2 miles, but by the time I'm ready to walk home I'm already hot, and I don't worry about adding more sweat to my shirt.
I was focused on feeling my form, and that contributed to my slowness, but also, I just wanted to run the distance today. It would be the most humiliating experience to go through the hassle of trying to be a long distance runner only to be sidelined by some common running injury. I feel if my form is good, like ChiRunning form, then I should be able to go the distance injury free.
Of course, I will not allow myself to get too tired. One of the best parts of working out after work is that it helps me sleep. However, if my heart gets too tired, I'm stopping. That's it.
It's been a while since strangers have seen my scars. They are 35 years old, and skin color so maybe people don't see. I guess it's just a waste of time to wonder if they are affected by my scars. I should just focus on the fun running, eh?
