Short blog tonight. Don't have much time with guests coming over. Beard is getting a little thicker and I can't believe I have managed every day so far. Some nights are a struggle to just sit down and do while others are a breeze. I think the easiest are when I have to get something off my chest and I just start to rant. It is like all the frustration just pours out of me. So I guess this is pretty therapeutic for me, since I normally just keep it in. Maybe this will make my life just a little less stressful.
Ran another two miles today. I had to force myself to do something, otherwise I would start to regress. Thankful for my wife for pushing me to run, because I was ready to forget it for today. The strain is starting to get to my body. I think the nine miles was my bodies limit, even though I plan to push it further. My knees are starting to give in. I can deal with soreness and general aches and pains, but the knees are feeling old. Especially right after a run, I will sit for a little bit and then it gets really hard to get my knees moving again. Painful. Raina keeps insisting I take some aspirin, but I am mostly anti pill popping. I don't like to have to take anything unless I am in dire need. Who knows, maybe after the ten miles this weekend I will be in "dire need". I think it is mostly that I think that most pills are just a placebo. They don't actually work as well as advertised. The other thing is that I believe that if I am constantly taking pills, I will become more immune to them and they won't work as well. I would much rather just get better on my own and not be reliant on modern medicine. There I go ranting a little bit when I was just planning on doing something really short. Out of time.
