Wednesday morning - I have yet to leave. It feels like I am perpetually running into the heart of darkness, and its a feeling I find comforting. I had Joseph Conrad's book in my head all of last night (forgive me, but yes, these are the things that keep me from falling asleep). Someone dear to me left for Africa at a very young age - I mean, who does that?! :-) I still go back and read Conrad since I first read this as an 15 year old. It is alot more nuanced than I gave it credit for, although it still has the ability to transport me into an entirely different world.
Sometimes, it is easier to get lost in a book and see your life through those characters when you dont want to face up to your own reality. Music, can do the same.
I want to run in the middle of the day since I have to go somewhere and dont feel like being stuck in traffic. If you see an odd-looking girl with a super high pony tail and a red backpack wearing a "hug a runner tee-shirt", come say hi! It looks like its going to another scorcher.
6-8 miles today. I lost 2 toe nails the other day. I also am down one white tee shirt that needs replacement - it was soaked in blood after the last run and the area that bled has formed scabs so I dont want to irritate it by running long today.
