Well today was very hard to get going… I really wasn’t in the mood to run today which is not usual but today isn’t a usual day. I slept in my new apartment and found this very depressing. This morning was so rough, I didn’t want to get up. I guess there will be a flood of emotions over the next little while. It’s funny I don’t usually write about them there. I don’t usually share them with people. I guess after years of being like that I’ve maybe also learned to just bottle things up and not let it out also. Anyhow I decided to go for the run on the advice of a friend. I don’t know why this friend is still a friend after all the crap. Anyhow the run. I started down Dundurn towards the mountain and that last little stretch just before you get to the stairs sure is uphill. I ran all the way up to scenic drive and hung a left towards the Chedoke Daycare where Sydney used to go. This didn’t help me clear my head much as it seems like just yesterday Robin and I were so worried to take her to yet another daycare. Anyhow this isn’t helping. Back to the run, I ran up to the daycare right next to Chedoke Hospital and back which is exactly 8 miles. Ran that in 1:03:50 for an average pace of 7:58 minute miles which I just don’t get as my legs were so sore and heavy I didn’t think think I’d break a 9 minute mile. Guess the speedwork is paying off.
