Veale up North Park to Shelburne to Laurelhurst and back (alone)-

I took the run a little easier today and was a little sore still from my rapid mileage increase. It was largely enjoyable, though I stepped in an open drain with a half mile to go and my right foot was completely soaked.

I spent most of the run thinking about how my life has changed over the last few years. I've screwed up plenty, but at the end of the day I can go home and look myself in the eye with some level of respect for the man staring back at me. I may not graduate with a 4.0, but maybe it just doesn't mean anything. Why do I need to win recognition? For what purpose? If I am not enough without a 4.0, I cannot possibly be enough with one. I must not let myself fall into pride or apathy, but perhaps I pay too little attention to everything in my life going right. That's it, I'm off my soap box; have a nice day.
