BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles
Some funnies from before the run. BE likes to back his car into the parking slot. We joked about it (he was running late, so he was open to it!). This led to a "why" discussion, some comparisons were made to getting on and off planes, and the new Devin joked that he also likes to get on planes backwards! Then we ran the loop backwards! DC and LC weren't there, so we get away with changes like this easier.
This was one of those runs in which I had to keep pushing myself. Sure I'm tired from yesterday's 10 mile two-a-day, but this happens a lot. I wonder if others think that I'm just running away (CS said I'm a machine) but do they realize just how much mental energy goes into pushing a pace, staying at the front, and not stopping?
I kept telling myself: float....float....float...relax the arms and shoulders, take a breath, relax, and FLOAT. Ever since I saw a runner last week running along the MoBot while I rode home this has been in my head (or was I driving and jealous?). He floated. It looked effortless.
So it's inspired this. Once I hit a few goals, I'm getting this as a sticker or a magnet!
