Misty

Today's run reminded me of Vancouver. Cloudy and wet. Not very warm. Probably wasn't the best idea to wear shorts and a t-shirt, but I figured I'd run hard enough not to feel it.

Not so much.

13km with the Running Room crew. Stayed around the front for the first half since I didn't know where the turn-around was. Nice to say hi to the odd runner that I'm just getting to know, but I was itching to go thoroughbred with my legs. Stumpy running is no longer my thing.

Got to the turn around and let them go. 165bpm is my new 136bpm. Fuck endurance building. I will form the base while I feel the wind in my hair. Running for me has started to feel like driving. My legs move smooth, my body goes horizontal, and I just let it sit on cruise control while I enjoy the scenery.

Blew past some lady like she was standing still. Nice.

I get my motivation from seeing how much I can beat people. Socializing or running with the group really isn't my thing. I use them to propel me though, and I works well. I want to be back, dressed, stretched, almost done my Americano when the second person gets back from the run. This is how I will make myself fast.

100km on the bike yesterday, and the legs felt good enough for this run today. Fuck yeah.

Need to start swimming still. Too bad I'm afraid of water.
