Comments:
the pace felt pushed, not quite what i had in mind but i wasn't complaining compared to the alternative. i soon found that it only took relaxing my shoulders and letting my stride fall into place for me to be comfortable with the pace. It sounds so simple, yet it seems I'll never stop learning that lesson.
things felt good today (during the run anyway). how it was supposed to be, like those summer runs i miss so much.
i was sweaty and dehydrated, and i loved it. (except for that endless hill up River - one "yellow" road successfully learned!). My quads ached for water and calves for stretching. i liked the feeling. i was going somewhere.
i don't want to focus on everything else, on my day, on school, on people, on life - because i don't want detract from the good moments. that run was a good moment.
when i got home, i started my hw outside.
when i look up at the tree branches reaching for the sky, I feel miniscule. I like feeling small. It makes me feel like I'm small enough to go unnoticed, that maybe no one can actually see me.
too bad you can't be invisible at a track meet.
