Today was long-run day. I was dreading it - not because of the running, but because its a public holiday here. This means two things: too many people leaving nightclubs drunk and too many loafers doing what they do best - yelling out gems like "run forest run" (this is seriously old), or "faster faster" (yes, why dont you run beside me and keep my pace for a whole 60 seconds), or some idiot who tries to pick me up. I mean seriously! I really am out there at 4am looking for compliments - seriously (cue rolling eyes)!
Anyway, usually this isnt a bother but when its a long-run day I need to be strong. I actually laughed out loud at the comments a few times this morning - I was in a good mood. 21 miles with 13 miles @ MP. I pushed the pace a few times - but it was still very comfortable. 21 miles were done a touch under 3 hours. I love running at dawn and finishing my run when the sun is up - I dont know where the time goes!
On a related note. I look like a blowfish!! I picked up the pace the last 5 miles. I have a habit of biting my lower lip alot when I concentrate. As one can imagine, the right side of my lower lip is furious with me! *sigh*
Might go out for another 3 this pm. I really should not though - what happened to my grand plan of lower mileage and weight loss? Hmmmm....at this rate it aint happening!
EDIT* No PM Miles - thank goodness I listened to my legs!

I've no idea how I bloghopped onto someone's diary cum blog, but anyway will give my two cents' worth. Its a unique concept, 'thoughts while you jog'.
I've blogged a lot in the distant past and haven't come across anything quite like it. The blog titled Jasmine was a fresh read as well.
P.S.
Ran 21.6 miles :O
