no work work, just a lot of school work.
i'm out of the office today. but i'm still working. this would be a break.
i got out for a 75 minute run today and got a lot of thinking done. i realized that i did it again. i've gotten so caught up in training for this marathon that i've really forgotten why i started running again in the first place. hmmm, how to combat this? life is too short for 'playing' to not be fun...and that is what my athletic pursuits amount to.
maybe i need to stop racing. or rather, stop planning on racing. it seems like i pick events so far out that once they get here, i hate them before i even start racing. it doesn't have to be that way. does it? the other thing that has become clear to me is that specializing is overrated. so, for the forseeable future (after the marathon of course), i'm just going to play. if i feel like running, i'll run. if i feel like biking or skiing or playing basketball, i'm going to do it. i get so worried about what this will do to that, that i don't do things that i want to.
anyway, i ran at quarry ridge park in fitchburg and i will be back on two wheels post marathon. what it lacks in distance it makes up for in fun...and it must shed water pretty well because even after it rained yesterday i had really good footing.
sorry for the incoherent post. i need to get it out of my system so it doesn't rear its ugly head in my intellectual property analysis.
happy wednesday!
