I have been running for about 30 years now. I cannot say I have ever liked it. But it is a habit that is hard to break, a routine that is hard to replicate with comparable results in fitness, but really, that first mile or so is a mental killer.
About mile 4 I am not thinking anymore about turning around and heading for home. And the last 1/8 mile (uphill, in my case) is the best. It is over for another 24 hours. And tomorrow I can ride my bike.

There's a really nice running trail along the river here. I'll let you know how it is after tomorrow morning!
ReplyDeleteI remember when we were in Boston looking at Harvard, etc. (with Helene, remember?) it seemed that the whole city was out running along the St. Charles.
