If I started training for a Half now, I'd be ready by mid-August. There's a run in Saskatoon then. Hmmmm.....

Went for what was supposed to be an easy 4K run this morning, figured I'd do it in about 26 minutes. But after five, and that's minutes NOT kms, I started to feel winded. Sluggish. So I stopped and walked a minute or so. Did it again -- and again! Took an extra 10 minutes to do 4K! Actually, it was 4.6K.

I'm always a bit disappointed if I don't go out there and have a fantastic (i.e. energetic satisfying) run, but I don't let it get me down because I know it'll be a good run tomorrow. Consistently -- the day after a bad run has ALWAYS been a good run for me, and I always find myself mumbling, "Geez, what was the problem yesterday?"

I am remembering someone's T-shirt at London's Run, Schnepf Farm: "They shall run and not be weary" - Isaiah.
