As if the run the night before weren’t enough for this week, I decided to go for a long run this morning. I think this was my longest run ever in my life. Its hard to tell what my pace is at this point because, while I think I’ve greatly improved on an easy, flat course, the hills, the higher elevation, and the smoke in the air make this a very different run than Mombasa. But I’d say I did 8ish miles. I’d done 10ish in one day in Mombasa but always split into 2 runs. I ran in the heat and the hills for an hour and a half today without giving up. And I did it, mostly, with a smile. Maybe we all were really born to run. Even the ADD, asthma ridden, weaklings like me.
In the evening I went to play ultimate frisbee with a bunch of other UNC folks and expats. Many of the players were really intense which I was a bit unprepared for. I certainly got some speed drills in in those two hours.
The best part of all of this exercise. Eating whatever I want. I’ll work out like that every day if it means basically doubling my food intake!
