At 16:33, I started a 4.12 mile run, which lasted 27:41 (m:s) for an average pace of 6:42. I also had a personal best mile of 5:44 for the final mile in the run. I normally prefer to run in the morning, but a combination of two things inspired me to run this evening. On my bike ride home, there was a beautiful sunset over Cambridge and I haven't run in a while! There were actually a number of compounding thoughts that went through my head to make the decision to run, those were the larger more significant ones though.
I would like to think that I am internally driven and not very effected by my environment. Even if that is the case some of the time, it was not the case today. I didn't get out of bed this morning because it felt so cold in the world beyond my sheets. I spent much of the day in an office, feeling unfocused, with overcast clouds looming outside. I finally broke free of the rut because of the external forces outside of my will. Now that I've recognized this play that exists between myself and the environment... what next?
The photo above is from a shot I took in New York last year, and has a similar feel to the Cambridge/Boston Sunset tonight.
