Day 24

Was another beautiful day, and looking forward to a run.

Measured out my run on Tuesday to be 4.8km (so not the 5km I had previously thought) but it was 3 miles.

Was at the teenagers class tonight, but one of the mother's had prepared petulla (like a sugarless donut) and I ate 3 of them.
When I arrived back in Shkoder i felt a run was out of the question.

As soon as I dismissed a run, I felt that I wanted to run - even though I was not feeling too good.
As soon as I started to run I felt bad.
However, I just kept running - slow pace, but I just wanted to get through the 2miles.

About half way round, my run was completed blocked by a guy getting out of his car. Then about 1km from the end I was running past a car when it turned and blocked me into the wall. the driver then opened his door and stared at me as though he wanted me to complain.
The song on my mp3 player just happened ( does anything just happen by chance?!) to be "Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads.

"Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run away"

I though to myself..." far better run run run run run away!"
I told him to continue and I ran away!

Slight delay on these 2 stops and it did break my rhythm although my time was not affected too much.

In the end I completed the 2 miles in 20 mins 33 secs.

Again, not my greatest run, but I was very pleased with myself.
I ran when I really did not feel like running.
I ran with a bit of pain and a bloated stomach.
I ran through the pain and completed the 2 miles.
I feel good about running 2 miles now - even when I don;t feel that good!
