10km 30min

I cycle as fast as some runners do 10km. sadly.

I couldnt continue running beyond 2.5km because my lower leg were so tight. Instead of bearing with it I decided to do the stationary bike. I continued to wet the area around the bike. 160 ave haert rate

I had a tough day at work, and by the time I finished its too dark to run outside. The thing about the treadmill is that the workout is meaningless on the mind. And especially not in the highly himbotic fitness first where they play loud pop mtv. And because I dont have my own motivational tracks; my earphones gave up on me, havent bought new ones, the workout because unbearably long and boring.

But to run outdoors?

I cannot even begin to describe how much it does to the mind and heart. When you run outdoors the real breeze on your face kind of blows away your bad day. You feel so happy, like you no longer have any cares in the world.

In the midst of it, I tend to stop thinking about the external factors, like how tired I am, and the distance I need to go, I start looking internally. I get so absirbed in my own thoughts I wont notice how much faster or further I have gone. And by the time I gain consciousness of my surroundings, I'd have figured out what I need to do to solve the problem at hand.

Its happens so often its almost magical. yet I havent thought to go out for a run
