Rewards and Revulsion
Yesterday I had to run 8 K and I had to do it on the treadmill because my body was in too much agony from Sunday's run to put foot to pavement. The only trouble is that the treadmills at my work calculate distance in miles and not kilometres. So I ran 4 miles because it was easier to run a little extra than do the math. I think this is also progress.
And so slowly (progress) and quickly (time passing) we are getting closer to the half-marathon I've committed to in a week and a half. After that my training takes a break until Official Marathon Training starts on July 20th. I've decided that after the half-marathon I am going to get a pedicure because my feet are a fucking mess and also, I think it would be nice to have pretty toenails for a few weeks, especially if I'm liable to lose one during training. A fate that I have to admit revolts me to no end. Bleh.

you will be delighted that
you will be delighted that you did. it smells so beautiful in there and it is about a million trillion times easier on your body.
it takes a while to find your way around. but there are loads of maps on posts where the trails intersect. it seems easy to get lost in there but the reality is that all the trails lead 'out' eventually. i am heading over there tonight at around 5:30 if you want to come along. I'll run for about an hour (9-10 k)

awesome! i can't tonight because we have dog obedience class, but maybe we can hook up next week? if there is a possibility of getting lost, for sure it will happen to me. last weekend I got lost in Stanley Park.

d,
i can run for hours in the woods compared with minutes on pavement. trails have about 100% more give than pavement.
