Running in Action

Day 35 - 8 miles

"It was magnificent, it was so simple, easy, I was just jogging. I understood Einstein's theory of relativity as time seemed to stand still. I could see everything before I did it. I felt so powerful, so in tune, in balance. It was a perfect melody, a rhythm, I was really flowing. I was dangerous that day." - Kris Akabusi

Miles Ran: 107.3 (woohoo! Passed the 100 mark!) Dollars Raised: $526.20

I don't know what happened to me today. Maybe I was just motivated to get out of the blistering cold. Whatever it was, it was awesome.

I literally felt like I was flying along the frozen Charles River as we went all the way down to River Street and back. I felt so light on my feet, my arms were not tense in the slightest, and I got into a rhythm with my legs and breathing that was just working perfectly.

I was trying to really just make my stride as effortless as possible, which really helped me pace myself. But somehow, even though I got out the door a little later than most of the group, I beat the majority of them. We usually leave around 9, and when I got into the locker room and looked at my phone it was only 10! A couple minutes later a girl walked in who said the guy she was running with had a watch and they finished in 1:10 so I must have been at least 1:05.

Off to the Science Museum!
