I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold of me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty.
"True Faith" - New Order
Wow - a great run today, not because it was fast or in any way particularly brilliant, but because I felt really and truly stuffed and buggered after five long hard days at work and desperately wanting to
not do this run. However, I'm on a roll now and I wasn't about to let a fabulous January of running go to waste, so run I did.
And somewhere along the way - toward the end when I'd already conquered a small mountain of "let's call it quits, that's enough" thoughts and "gosh my knee hurts, perhaps that really IS enough" false alarms and had basically run out of excuses, I suddenly found myself in that exalted place of realisation that says, "Hey! This is actually not that hard, and gee, it feels really, really good and boy, you're actually running at quite a decent pace!" And it wasn't just the endorphins - I really did find a whole new level of enjoyment in pushing myself to new running heights.
I dunno, it just felt brilliant for some reason.
There was a whole heap of other stuff I was going to yabber about, but it doesn't seem to matter much by comparison. I had a great run today, and that's the important thing.
Roll on February!
