Banking Miles

Looking back at the first few entries, I have come to the realization that I have some work to do in the writing department. I haven’t written for entertainment purposes in a long time, and like my running, it’s going to take some time before I am back at full steam. Then again, I do think the blog adequately reflects the tedium of my first few forays into running. If I only wrote about my best runs, I wouldn’t have much of a blog.

I wasn’t feeling too motivated today, so I decided to throw a few errands in the mix as an excuse to go outside. I had to physically transfer money between two banks – I really need to get my mortgage and chequing account under one roof – so I ran to one bank, withdrew as much money as my limit would allow, then ran to the other bank and made the deposit. I received a few strange looks from people as I was huffing and puffing at the bank machine – the reflective vest probably didn’t help matters much - but other than that the run went without incident.

Mind you, my legs are starting to feel a bit fatigued, so I may need to take a day off in the near future. I don’t like rest days – I’m lazy enough as it is – but if I don’t rest I am more likely to get injured down the road. Better find a way to cross train, and quick.

I'll leave you with a link to an article I read earlier today. It's about a high school runner who manages to finish a cross country race after breaking her leg. It's from the ESPN website, so I can assure you it's as least as good and anything I've written thus far.
