Week 14 - Day 2 - 10 Miles

"For every runner who tours the world running marathons, there are thousands who run to hear the leaves and listen to the rain, and look to the day when it is suddenly as easy as a bird in flight." - George Sheehan 


Tonight was another 10 miler around the river.  This is by far my favorite running route, especially at sunset.  I crave the site of the river.  I have begun to realize during the last 14 weeks that someday I want to live on a river.  I understand there are things such as floods but maybe I will just live in an RV so that I never need to worry about property damage.  


It is starting to get darker noticeably sooner and hard to believe that Summer is coming to an end.  It is even harder to believe that I ran my way through it.  I am definitely feeling weary of it all.  I might even look back on this week as one of the hardest. I am just not comfortable in heat, not in any part of myself.  I am truly happy that I live in a place where it remains cool for the majority of the year.  This might explain while in all the years that I lived in SoCal I never managed more then a brisk walk.


Tonight I ran 10 miles and those 2 hours felt far less uncomfortable then the first 60 seconds I ran consecutively a year and a half ago.  Regardless of how weary I may be, I will never be that weary again.
