Hillz

Yesterday I went out around 5 PM to do hills. After running around town for about 20 minutes I made my way to the bottom of Falls Road, the largest hill in town, and dashed to the top 4 times. I was surprised at how fast I was able to go. It feels like my body isn't in quite that bad of shape after all. Or maybe it was just a good day. The cool, cloudy weather was quite a relief after running in warmer conditions over the past few weeks. Heat really tears me down, and I often find that my best races are run when everyone is complaining that it's too cold.

By the time I'd finished the hills and run back to my apartment it had been about 40 minutes total. My leg is a bit sore today, but I'm not concerned about it. I can walk perfectly fine and it isn't jumping around like it used to, more of a constant soreness this time. If there's one thing I've learned over the past 7 months it's not to worry over injuries. Sometimes you simply need to ignore the little pains, and once you forget about them they'll go away. If you obsess over it needlessly you could make it drag on forever. At least that's how it seems to work for me.

But we all know that I'm an enigma.
