Runner’s diary, Friday

The first thing I have to say is that I can’t wait for the weather to break so I can get outside. I realized that today, pushing five miles on the treadmill. There is only so much political news one can watch with the sound off (I was listening to Glenn Greenwald’s podcast on the iPod and then some music), though the chattering classes may be best watched in silence.

My fiver today left me in a pretty good mood about my running, providing me with some much-needed insentive to keep pushing forward. It was the first five in a while and proved to me I could do it at a time when my runs have rarely been longer than four miles, rarely more than three when you get right down to it.
