It’s going to be a cold month.

Well, November has ended. I had a goal of running 40 miles total for the month and I was able to beat it. I ended up running 68 miles. I’m going to see what kind of mileage I can tack on during December.

There are two goddesses in your heart,” he told them. “The Goddess of Wisdom and the Goddess of Wealth. Everyone thinks they need to get wealth first, and wisdom will come. So they concern themselves with chasing money. But they have it backwards. You have to give your heart to the Goddess of Wisdom, give her all your love and attention, and the Goddess of Wealth will become jealous, and follow you.” Ask nothing from your running, in other words, and you’ll get more than you ever imagined.

I was able to get out what was pulling me down in my last post by running. Had to go real far though. It feels good to shake that shit off.

Crystal clear

I’ve recently taken up running as a way to stay positive, motivated, look good naked, and above all, clear my thoughts. At first, like all things, it was hard; starting overall, breathing, stamina, sore muscles, etc. But now, now I look forward to it. The release that it gives me can’t be given by any other activity. I’ve found that running without headphones in lets me listen to my breathing and overall surroundings, which is great.

I was able to run 25 miles last month starting from then 10th, and now I’m aiming for 40. I’ve lost ten pounds, and brought my resting pulse down 20 beats per second. I guess the point of this post is a reminder to keep at it, and that I really want to go running right now but I’m stuck at work. Also, I recommend reading Born To Run, it’s the book that planted the seed.
