Not the most mindful of runs. The conditions are really terrible. Lots of ice left over from our terrible December storms and there is a mix of snow and rain in the air adding to the treachery. Making matters even more fun is my mindfulness. It is not even there. Started my day with a lot of work related to some things happening next Tuesday, but I am struggling with making an appropriate connection in with my director.
Most of the issue is mine of course. I work quickly, I like to think and move and accomplish whereas she is a more methodical person. Other issues include we are working in English, not her first or second language and there fore I am probably doubly overbearing. I never seem to find the right connection with this and it is disconcerting to say the least. Need to consider is it ego, craving, or one of the many stumbling blocks out there. this type of kilesas is always a danger, always right there to grab you and send you into delusion.
The run was eventful for the fact I ran quicker, but by no means the speed of October or early November, and I think this is not a good idea. No pain afterward but you could feel the slightest of stretches with the speed I was running.
It is best to maintain this 10km system for the foreseeable future,
News of the day is the purchase of Adidas Climawarm Revolutions. Supposed to be a winter shoe, has a much higher drop and I am not using inserts either. Right now they feel clunky, but let's see what happens.
Two days in a row in Kyiv. I'll take it for now.
