I fuelled so well last night. A combination of great food and a bad mood led to comfort food. See how that happens? I was also aware that today was predicted to be a 40 degree day. In India!! So me being me, decided to go for a run at 2pm. Yes 2pm. When it was 43 degrees according to my garmin!
Anyway, every run logged is a good run. I hydrated really well and set out. Completed 9 miles in 76 minutes which is pretty darn good for this weather. It is so hot today though that normal water from the taps is scorching hot. Maybe I'm just not used to this heat!
92 seconds of wall sits.

Random!
Other runners would know what I mean when I say this - anyone notice how religious running is? Not in the weird lets-pray-together way, but rather in how ritualistic it is. Right from the time you wake up, you lace up your shoes - runners have routines, they like their routines and are anal about their routines. Something is not quite right when you put on your left sock before your right one. Or when you wear your pink sports bra instead of your black one with the white tee-shirt. Or maybe that one is just me :-).
I get mocked when I stay up late, or choose to eat/not eat at a certain time because I want to get my miles in. Basically, its a lifestyle thats the total antithesis of how most people live today. All this also leads other people to think that I am a good two shoes - maybe because I wont go to a party that starts at midnight - *rolls eyes*. Not all runners are like this of course. Have you heard of hashing? 'Nuff said!
Anyway, its hot morning where I am. Somehow, I still think I get sweatier in Singapore - oh how I miss running by the water!
58 minutes an easy 12.7kms. 73 seconds of wall sits!
There is this really nice quote from the bible that came to mind when I was thinking about this and it relates quite nicely with the above sentiment: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
