Abs Swims, Bikes and Runs

"I may not hear the Rocky theme song, or see the sunset anywhere, but for me, this may be a sort of conclusion. An understated, rainy-day-sneakers sort of conclusion. An anticlimax, if you will. But the long and the short of it is that this kind of conclusion fits who I am. I didn't start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. One day, out of the blue, I started to run. Simply because I wanted to." Murakami

Glide

A 1 hour easy run today to follow up day before's start-again run. I think I covered about 9 kms what I am astonished by right now is the sheer ease with which I put in the miles today. I more or less glided through the first 45 mins and felt my legs only a little as I really pushed the last mile. Today was a great run because mentally I am now back in that zone where I believe I will enjoy the race and savour the challenge as it unfolds. Next stop the 30 km. mark.

On another note, "Jesus of Suburbia" has to be one of my favourite songs to run to...simply keeps you ticking not to mention BJ Armstrong's lyrics making me nod in agreement and bringing a smile to my face much to the bewilderment of those walking around me:

To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane
To keep me insane and doing someone else's cocaine

And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me
