Too hot. Felt sluggish. Didn’t have enough time between eating and this planned run. It might ran.
Fuck it.
Put on my shorts, and it all went away. Shoes, grabbed the keys, and drove to the nearby lake.
Did some speed work yesterday, so I knew I needed to take it easy. You know, you can sort of get to the top of any hill so long as you take your time. You can take one step, rest for a minute, and then take another step. That’s how tonight’s run felt. Pull back, keep it slow, keep that heart rate down. Take more photos, listen to the crickets. Smell the night air.
Got dark quick, but was still able to get back to my car with a bit of day light. Stood next to the lake for a bit, listening to a kayaker paddle back to shore.
