Conditions conspired against me last week. Lots of wind, lots of cold, lots of prior commitments, not so much daylight. Now's when you remember the best type of heat is self-generated. Two miles into a run, the furnace is fired up and I'm feeling fine. Two hours after a run and I'm feeling stiff. Creeping closer to 1000 miles, less glorious than I'd hoped but a happy milestone regardless.
Three more runs to report; Monday got away from me:
Tuesday: Chasing sundown and strange gusts over 3 miles. First run with a soundtrack (thanks iPod!) in almost 6 months.
Thursday: Knowing this pain too shall pass is good enough to get me to the copacetic second half of my 3.5 mile route.
Sunday: Another 5 mile weekend morning trip with a better playlist. I needed a few harsh moments from the Clash and Patti Smith to get me through. Rocky-esque self-affirmation just wasn't cutting it.
