thursday 16 miles . . .
6 x strides
the temperature has once again dropped and the ninja hoodie is making its grande reappearance. to this i say excellent. along with that is this amazing fog that lasts through much of the day. a thick wet fog that sits like so many transulent bubbles on my back, forearms, gloves. giving me this sense that i belong out here with the rest of the scenary soaked in a glorious mist. i love days like this.
i am nearing the end of my four weeks. i won't lie. i am weary. these days, after days, of running long miles has been quite wearisome. a change of pace next week will be nice. taking a day off will be nice. but still i must push through. two more days. 30 more miles. and then i did it!!
the strides felt great. i didn't hit any 21's like yesterday but on average they were faster, so i am improving. also within the strides themselves, i keep getting faster and faster.
coming out of one and turning the corner, i was startled by the ground moving around me in all directions. i looked more closely, they were birds. tiny, chubby, feather stuffed birds. they must have been all congregating in one area and my shoe broke them off. it was like stepping in puddle, the scattered clinging low to the ground.
