The only thing I enjoy about running is finishing. But alas, there just aren't many men around my age who still play sports. Since giving up racquetball because I ran out of people to play, I had to pick up something. I built a basketball court, but lost use of it since Harvey. Maybe I'll like running a bit more when fall returns...but never more than a 10k. I don't have enough thoughts for a full hour of running.
i don't run more than 2 hours usually. my mind is all over the place. my thought process is normally:
0-10 minutes: let's keep a good pace. probably can knock it down a little closer to 8.
10-30: settled in. cool. pray for a bit.
30-60: wonder what wife and kids are doing. i need to make them do a bike ride with me for this far. i think i can push a bit harder
60-70: what would i do if i won the lottery.
70-75: what charities would i give the money to? what stupid stuff would i buy.
75-76: how often would i fly if i owned a jet? i'd probably buy a boat too. nah. the two best days of a boat is when you buy it and when you sell it.
77-80: effing government would try to take everything anyways.
80-82: what would i do if i were president?
83-85: Donald Trump is our president. Things you'd never think you'd say.
85-95: how do i break the two party system? F' em. frick my hammy hurts
95-100: i'm pretty angry about the government now. probably should do some more prayer
85-100: this is stupid. i'm just too far from my car to quit now. i'm drinking beer when i get home.
100-105: why the hell am i doing this? it's not even a race. why would i run 12-15 miles for not even a race.
105-110: almost to the car. let's finish strong. nah. let's just finish at a good pace. or not walk. or walk. whatever.
110-115: dammit. reached my car and i still need another mile or 10 minutes.
115-120: i'm just going to run a pathetic loop for 5 minutes and hope nobody drives by. my legs are jelly. how do coop and 00 do 3x this much on their races? i hate everything.
