Running
2.2 mi., 22.38.68, 13 degrees centigrade, 42% relative humidity.
It's been a long time since I've been out there, but it was a pretty good run. I actually ran for 16.45.62 and broke it up with 5.53.06 of walking.
One of the great things about running is the clarity it often brings. While I do fear failure, I'm being paralyzed by far more than that. When it comes right down to it, I fear being normal, average, less-than whom I've always considered myself to be, and the truly frightening thing about this fear is that I'm completely in control of who I turn out to be. So do I have the courage--the determination, the desire--to eliminate the superfluous from my life and commit to the necessities of my goals?
