Learning to finish the job before getting on with the new one

Old habits don't go away... I am already wondering what I am going to focus on after October 8. There are a few options under consideration. I ought to focus on accomplishing the MM. I cannot start thinking about other things before finishing the goal I set at the start of the year - whether I like it or not I must persevere a little longer.

This evening I run two laps around The Tan and finished running fast for the past 750 mts... which made me feel good - particularly around my lower legs which are still feeling the strain of the pain and sore muscles. Having said that. today's run was a relatively easy and booooring if you really push me to comment. I had company which was good but there was no challenge. Besides there were too many people running around, including that feral fellow who runs like a maniac around (some of you know who i am referring to) so we have to stick away from training herds and those zebras walking like they are the only ones in the planet.

For those who I have bored with the whingeing about me 'hating' running I have to say that I find far more challenging a long run than a short run. I am beginning to get used to the idea that there is a certain threshold of pain involved in a long run and I find it more stimulating and rewarding than simply hitting the road for say 8, 10 or 12 kms. I suppose it is a question of preference. Speaking of preferences, I run today with a NB fiber singlet which I bought last Sunday and I must say I prefer running with 100% cottom shirts.

I received three email messages today about my post from yesterday commenting on my note about my little stubborness. Apparently I indulged myself - but no specifics were mentioned so I take it as people are having fun.
