a so-called runner's thought

i feel motivated to run after reading murakami's what i talk about when i talk about running. i mean, he is a middle aged fulltime novelist who is determined to run a full marathon every year and he does train hard for it.

his accounts of trainings for his marathons will ring a bell for every runner out there, i think. the pain felt, the off day, the day when you know you can just run and not feel tired, what you think when you run, etc. i do want to run, but damn, my circunstances just do not allow me to run as much as i want.

the short sprint on monday has awakened some leg muscles long forgotten. although i do jog occassionally, the muscles used are different from those used in the sprint. the jolting of all these muscles are not a good sign because the plantar (sole of the feet) feel more pain and strain than usual. so no sprint for me. just light jog to finish the whole distance. that is my aim. can't put too high hope of improving time kinda shit....although i wish to.
