...but I sure as hell love it! Running teaches you a lot about yourself. What you are capable of...what you're not but what you are willing to push yourself to do. It also makes you listen to your body! And in my case, and many others, ignore the body and keep pushing through the pain anyway!
It bothers me that we live in a society that makes it harder to do things that should be easy and natural...our bones-our bodies are weak because we are raised to do nothing worthwhile and to eat shit...it's sad that kids now are told to sit in front of the television and to play Nintendo games...and this Wii shit...um, that is not fucking exercise...go outdoors for a walk instead...have your children go outside for a walk with you...give them a healthier future...
Running is just another part of the rewilding/learning process...it's not always easy, it is fun-even when it isn't easy, it can hurt mentally and physically at times, but it is worth all the effort, and the adventures are fucking awesome! Like when you get stuck in the forest running and there is no light-the Sun at rest and the Moon now doing her job-but usually her shine can't penetrate the forest floor...you think you're still on the trail, your feet telling you different because the ground all of a sudden became softer, but you keep going anyway, and SLAM, you find yourself in a bush!!! It's exciting!
Anyway, yesterday I did a trail run. The old trail...I love this trail. Probably because it is an easier trail and I know it pretty well!!! With few hills at the very end that ramp things up a bit! I put in 6 miles and walked a little over 2 miles. I came across two Great Blues wading through the water looking for a meal. Also the buzz-chirp of the Kingfisher while he flew down the waters path! I always love that! He always keeps you alert!
Running through the forest is always the best! I did that run around noon. And it is still too warm down this way! Where the hell is the cold weather?! The north is hogging it up!
I lifted last night at midnight. It was good. Short, but not sweet! The workout really kicked my ass. It really had the sweat pouring off me like somebody came along and dumped a bottle of water over my head...sweat in the eyes=SUCK!
Alright, more later.
