I might have been just a tad melodramatic yesterday. Just because I wasn't born with fantastic
genes that allow me to go from 0 to 100 km within a week doesn't mean
I can't build up to 100 km at all. Just because I can't run
back-to-back marathons right now, doesn't mean that I won't be able
to someday. So, instead of marinating in self pity, from now on I'll
try to concentrate on what I can actually do right now. Like run a
marathon without my legs falling off. Like run ultra intervals. That
kind of thing. And be patient, of course.
Boy do I sound like a wise old cow with
all that kumbaya, new age-y crap.
Ok, I'll 'fess up. This change of mood
did not come about after hours spent in the lotus position meditating
on the virtues of patience, nor after a sudden revelation that it doesn't matter since we're
all going to die anyway; it came about this
morning when I, on eager legs and icy pavements, high on endorphins, ran the 10 km to
work and felt well rested enough afterwards to want to go for a long run
tomorrow.
Suddenly, I could. Suddenly, my muscles
weren't sore any more. Suddenly, anything was possible. The Force is
strong with this one.
HEJA!!!
ReplyDeleteSom sagt, jag är inne i en tung period (tycker det är tungt jämt, varit sedan nyår), men jag blir ju snabbare. Kan hända att underställ och tights is the trick... MYCKET skönare med varma ben, speciellt lår och höftböjare som tagit lite stryk av kylan tidigare.
Du är bara för grym!!
Funderade bara eftersom du skriver på engelska :)
ReplyDeleteJag har 8 km till jobbet vilket är lagomt på morgonen. Försöker springa till/från jobbet ett par gånger i veckan nu. Får utnyttja tiden på ett annat sätt nu för tiden :)
