Thump, thump, thump.... it is difficult to keep my strike light at this pace. The Black Eyed Peas are keeping me motivated. I've got 1.4 miles behind me. I'm thinking I'll stop at 3 miles. Not feeling too great tonight.
Thump, thump, thump. I'm getting heavy footed again. I turn down my headphones and I can hear that I'm making a good deal of noise. I wonder if it's bugging the people around me. I shorten my stride a bit, focus hard on my strike and, above all else, try to find that feeling of smoothness.
There's a basketball game going on one level below me. I'm observing as I run. The players are diverse. You could be pretty certain they don't hang out off the court. There's one guy that keeps shooting three-pointers and missing. Even when he has the chance to take a couple steps closer to the hoop, he instead steps back to the line to take the shot. Whatever, they're just having fun.
Dang, a slow song. I need some motivation. Dynamite is next. Now I'm feeling it. I bump up the pace a bit. Then some more. I'm getting close to 3 miles. I'm definitely going to make my goal time... Okay, all done. Short, but good. Oh man, I can't wait for warm weather. I'm really missing the warm sun out on the trail. Until then. Thump, thump, thump.
