Another Sunday-no tuna
Now Playing: Lunasa- Redwood (Celtic)
Topic: Physical Well Being
Lunch and dinner, a green salad with two hard boiled eggs on it but no tuna. Tasty. Did 27 miles today, a bit of in the rain this evening but what's a touch of rain when you can watch the lightning show. My feeling about the weather is the same as I had the time I was driving through Kansas (flatter than a pancake) and down the only road I could travel across, there sat the largest blackest cloud bank I had ever seen in my life. Middle of the day and in front of me lay a seething mass of black evilness you could not imagine from any picture or video, you had to be there. Well, I believe I sneered at the cloud and put my foot on the gas pedal. Bring it on was my thought and boy was that a rough ride. Passing into the cloud bank was like a switch had been thrown and it became night. I had to fight the car as it seemed to spontaniously move from lane to lane. Cars were flying off the road. Very intense. Well, the rain and lightning this evening was not quite that spectacular but nonetheless it was nice and colorful. The ride was quiet, nobody at all along the route. Just me and the wind and the rain. Peaceful.

Saw many of my friends at the usual Sunday brunch and it was nice to visit as it always is. Friends telling me they see me racing myself intensely and speedily. I tell them it's good tension relief. Sometimes I don't see them on the road or coming out of the building as I've got my blinders on. I apologize and tell them I'd happily wave or stop if I knew they were calling out to me. As it is, when Cake starts on the mp3 player with "The Distance" I become demonically possessed. Gotta push faster and faster until my legs feel like they are going to burst. -Just in time for Johnny Cash to come on with his version of NIN's Hurt- since I'm hurting then it makes me still go fast. Well, you see how it goes. Songs as motivation and as training partners.
