Vortex Running
...is the nasty bit.
Does this make me a "real" runner? I am the only person in doubt.
Then again, there is this:
I have signed up for the Hypothermic Half in Montreal, coming up February 16.
I expect to finish.
I expect discomfort. And cold feet.
Vortex this.

We dance...
...to the beat of whatever Robyn says.
I cannot run without music. One mix of genres: house, deep, Chicago, progressive, trance with the occasional nod to 70s disco, the William Blake of dance music.

Finally!
...a personal best to report for the 64th Parc Lafontaine 10k. I cut 5 minutes off of my time.
Still slow by most standards, just to contextualize...but man alive!
Some of you might know that I have been training with an elite group, which largely ignores me as they lap me at the track. But, the coach, who is a very nice man, actually ran part of the last K with me, much to my surprise... and although I felt kind of nauseous, I thanked him for this bit of help.
I have been struggling with a lot of self doubt (in both my running and real life) and have had a fantasy of just giving up all of this racing (and writing) altogether. The original blog impetus of the ridiculously failed triathlon in Indonesia is now in deep history as those things go. Likewise, I have lost track of the submissions to journals and contests and whatallnot.
The time today really helped a lot.

Two sides
While running this morning in Toronto's High Park, I was treated to this lovely scene:
Twenty feet later to my left:
Always bittersweet.

Summer Running
...had me a blast. Such a blast that I have had no time to post. I did come across these creatures this morning:
Paul and I will be running a 10k this weekend as part of the Jazz Tune Up at the Beaches event. Here's to the faint hope of doing this in under one hour.
