while cycling with berta yesterday, i was bitching (surprise, surprise) but this time it included how sad i was to run without music on the marathon. she had a great suggestion: use that time to think about where i was and who i was becoming.
inspired by that conversation, i ran today without my headphones and found it not to be as bad as i dreaded. i ran the bike path near the gym i work out which runs right up against houses on either side. i listened to people talking in the backyards and dogs barking... smelled yummy food cooking... and just enjoyed being there in the moment. it was nice break from the frustration i have trying to find "the right" music to run too.
towards the end of the run, i was getting nauseous (new for me) so i had to walk the rest of the way. next time: must pack food!
run: 3:58 miles || 42:20 minutes || 11:49 miles/min
