The past few days, I have been dragging every morning. My philosophy in terms of aches and pains of any sort has been to run through it. Yeah, I didnt say I was very smart, its just my way of doing things. Running is an extreme sport, whether anyone agrees or not, we ask our bodies to do things that the majority of clear thinking, rational people would never consider. I dont know if it takes a different type of person to handle running, but I think it takes a different type of person to keep running. Not a better person mind you, just a different one. And I am nothing if not consistent.

A fairly speedy 60 minute run at 6am today - I almost tripped on gravel. Can you imagine a face plant in India? Distance unknown. It took enormous willpower not to go out for another 5k this pm. I must not overdo. Those that know me personally know, and it is fairly obvious from this blog, I tend to have a somewhat obsessive, borderline addictive personality when it comes to alot of things in life. Its an interesting approach - to find things that make you feel good and do them as much as you can. I dont know if thats a healthy way, in fact scratch that, I KNOW its NOT a healthy way, but I think plenty of us do it.

Thats enough for now I think.
