Today’s run was a commute. It wasn’t enjoyable. I’d have thought it’d feel slightly easier on the third day, but it didn’t.
The raised bridge to get from the Esplanade over to Boston Common was particularly brutal. It was also 8am when I started, so slightly warmer than before. I wore one layer too many and a backpack does add, even if it’s relatively light.
Despite that, I did it. Let’s see if it gets easier from here.
I could make a Funeral joke about how the run felt, but I won’t. It was sunny and pleasant outside, I shouldn’t complain too much. The album remains incredible and I’d like to say that Wake Up pushed me to keep running. And maybe it did, just not consciously. I was more focused on hills than the album and perhaps the fact I know it so well meant it didn’t add much colour to the run. Or I enjoyed it so little, I couldn’t even take much pleasure in the music.
