Four Miles October 3, 2005
Posted by Aaron in : General, Life , trackbackHuzza! at long last, I’ve run 4 miles. Not only that, at the end I could have added another mile without needing medivac at the end of it. I chose not to since my only objective was to hit 4. I, like nathan have been training to participate in a cross country as part of the GC alumni team. Ten more days of training and I just ran 4 miles for the first time in months. But unlike others on the team, I’m not going for fast. I’m going for survival, though fast might be nice, I simply started too out of shape and with not enough raw talent to make up for it. Up until today intellectually I’d known for about a week that I could survive the 5 miles. Today I go to bed with no doubts remaining, not that I’m saying it’ll be pretty mind you.
In other news, a present for me was appropriatly waiting for me after work, some books I’d purchased. From the ender’s game series (by orson scott card) I now own Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind. As we speak I’ve found another set of 3, Ender’s Game, Ender’s Shadow and Shadow of the Hegemon. I’ve considered picking up this series for a while, but never been much of one to own books. I was trying to decide how many of the series to get but upon doing some digging discovered that with these new 3 I was only missing 2 more. Seeing as how I still need a couple to get free shipping and to finish the series, perhaps I shall partake a little more.
Ok well its midnight, time for me to go to bed. Though there is something I’m forgetting. Something I was suppose to do on october 3rd. *shrug* been trying to figure that one out all day, guess I can only hope I remember on october 4th.
