Dear Penthouse,
I never thought it would happen to me, but...
OK, maybe not that kind of confession. But here's the score: After returning to running (OK, it's been a week, work with me on this) after having laid off of it for a couple of months, I find running S2G...well...tedious. Constantly looking down, and even then, missing pointy things that poke my feet, getting torqued that the paths have this small gravel/large sand on them that hurt, not lifting my foot enough over a bump and taking the nose cone off of my big toe, getting pissed when someone does a crappy job of paving... It makes me want for a pair of shoes. Not big squishys, mind you (though "Big Squishys" would be a great name for a band: "Running Pirate and the Big Squishys". Yes, that sings), but minshoes. Just a wafer thin layer of rubber between the road and the soles [of Mr. Creosote for the Monty Python lovers, out there].
Makes me wonder if I've been fooling myself all along, or if running S2G has run its course for me.
Thoughts? Anyone else lose the faith? Where's Lomad? I need a hug...
