Day - 24

Slept around 11:30pm last night, which is earlier and better than the past few days. Woke up around 6am, went for the jog at 6.30am... Started from my usual point with SOAD playing Lonely Day --- such a nice song, wanted to do a longer run today so kept my initial pace very less, my back also was bothering me a little bit, its a legacy of my older life... Anyway after half the distance, something changed and my rhythm was bad, i was getting out of breath, LedZeppelin whispering those enchanted words of the song Kashmir into my ears, i was done for the day... But i focused on just taking the next step and those wondeful lyrics of Kashmir helped... after finishing my usual distance i wanted to see how far i could go forward... It just donned on me today morning during the run that There is something good and also bad in running a fixed distance everyday or having landmarks in your path, once you reach that landmark you feel like you have done enough, you feel like you have achieved something. But the downside of it is you rarely push beyond that point, that landmark becomes a wall you cant and dont want to cross... So i decided to go further down that road and see how far i could run, i had no targets in mind, no landmark to reach... i was just running... trying to go as far as i could... now my rhythm got better, i was a lot slower (slower than my usual which is slower than most people :) )... But i could further cover another 1KM... that last km was very tough my legs started paining, and LedZeppelin moved to Stairway To Heaven and that helped a lot... i love that song and its lyrics... i wanted to hold on till that song was done... and i was able to last till that song was done... and its a damn long song, more than 8mins... by the end of the song, i was so so tired... upper body all damp with sweat... so i started in a bad way today, but finished better than i ever have... This is my best distance for continues running.... drumrolls ........ its 3kms... I'm very happy, legs are paining a bit, but i guess a chunky cube of ice can take care of that... All in all best day so far... i walked back the 3 kms to my home... so its 3km jog, 3kms of walk... took me exactly 1hr... Inbetween bought fruits and filled my fridge again with fruits... its been empty for 3 days now... My body is hurting a little, just trying to make sure that i dont strain it too much and get an injury that would be a disaster... might take leave tomorrow and get good rest at home...
