Mud on my running shoes
On today’s run I struggle
to get past the point that
roughly three weeks ago
would have been the
half-way point.
This time it just tells me
that I’m now running farther
than I did on my last run
earlier this week.
I fight myself past 4K,
the target I set for today,
and am glad that I’m
building up distance again
after going through
a steep decline.
And I don’t know where
that sudden lack of
energy came from.
The only thing I can
imagine to have caused it,
it that I reduced
my smoking from
roughly one pack a day to
roughly one cigarette per week.
But that can’t be it, can it?
Ah well, maybe it is.
And then
probably,
I’ll only get out
stronger.
