Today is a celebration of turning 28 in chronological years. This annual observance declares me to run and feel all of what today is about. A love for myself and this sport that gives me infinite safety to explore myself each day.
A few days ago I PRed at the Hot Chocolate 15k under viscous weather conditions. 20 mph headwinds with 30 mph wind gusts circulating madness for 57 minutes and 24 seconds. For the first time since spring of 2014, I exhaled calmly from start to finish. I no longer lament. As a data enthusiast, I consider all directly observed and latent variables in every run. All sources seem to indicate an S-Class forecast. Now is the time to embrace all of what seemed insignificant.
Themes over the years:
2019: Develop a healthy relationship with running again
2020: Examine strengths and weaknesses
2021: Explore and solidify your relationship with running by bringing your non-running self into training
2022: ?
Fellow lurkers, I cannot mold a summary of what hasn't happened yet. I therefore leave this year blank and let time and memories write it out for me when due. I trust that I will find the urge to pick up a pen or caress this new beautiful mechanical keyboard of mine when the meeting place is set.
I shall die under the winter sun with love,
Erik
