14 K
fell off a few a few days again - weekends - especiall weekends like the last one - hard to keep on track - i asked the other residents of "skin hill" (where i woke up sunday AM) if they wanted to do 14 with me - but no one said yes - in fact no one said anything - they just looked at me for a second and then went back to whatever they were doing ???
monday i was just plain lazy - so this morning i dragged my self out of bed (i use that word loosely - it is probably more accurate to say - i draggged myself out of my nest on the floor) and got going before i could wake up and realize what i was doing - 14 k is a long trip - beautiful run out the shore raod with the sun rising over annapolis - waved to several walkers and more rnners going the other way - so much different than alberton - i understand though - it is so boring running there - you might as well go on a treadmill and watch tv
from the shore road it was the long long long uphill slog to the top of mount pleasant - after a while you really get used to runing uphill - i definielty got faster and faster as the run went on - it was crazy because one side of my brain knew exactly how exhausted i was but the otherside was tripping on endorphins and kept saying stuff like "Just a little faster - cmon - give'er now - just a little faster"
coming down the digby side was fun - i just strethced it out and had fun - felt good - really had to be firm with myself to get me to run all the way to the telephone pole across from the fire dept that i consider the finsh line - that was 14 k eh? 1 hr and 45 minutes - monster hill -
when i stopped running at the firehall, it was a weird feeling - my breathing slowed right down but it felt like my whole body shrunk - like running had been holding it puffed out or inflated and when i stopped, it all just sucked into ths small little shrunken me - 14k = 1/3 of the marathon distance. hopefully ill get faster - im not nterested in running a 6 hour marathon thank you - just gotta keep at it - yeehaw
