I often wish to have a mind-recorder since I think I have such profound thoughts on my runs....It's like, if everyone just ran, there'd be world peace. Today I realized maybe it's a good thing that I don't have total recall. I think I think some weird stuff that just seems profound. Today I was pondering coyotes and hunting and survival. The only thing I ended up really remembering was needing to have someone defend lions (the African kind, not our mountain lions) to me. They've been on my shit-list for some time now. Perhaps I'll corner Jeff after some race/run to see if he can defend their evolutionary behaviors to me so I can again respect them.
Yesterday I just got in 4 miles, about split between roads and fields. I wanted to go longer, but ran out of daylight. I realized a while ago that I'm on pace to run over 1,900 miles for the year. That would be a record for me....There is the outside chance that I could go over 2,000 if I become a mileage junky....Just have to be careful not to break!
Since it was the start of deer hunting, I just ran roads today. I set out for and easy 6, but, felt good, had the time, so did just over 8. The only thing eventful about today's run was that my leaf count reached 19 (That's for you, Ryan (my Ryan)). I don't think my time suffered since I ran faster to catch the "virtual leaves" than I slowed to catch the actual ones.
I know what you mean about the first day of hunting.....probably not the best time to trail run. I feel so inadequate....I am trying to break a mere 1000 miles for the year.
ReplyDeleteRemember, I don't work, so have way more opportunity. Rick would be envious of your 1000 mile goal!
