I spent the last two days running at 4 am. My endurance grows as these runs can easily last for an hour (today DID)
I struggled for days with waking up for these runs, i had a dark internal battle.
Void of creation communicated to me if i want to reach my lofty goals im gnna have to do this run daily, there is no other way. And i just couldn’t bring myself to wake up for 2-3 days but yesterday after an hour in bed after the alarm went off, in a state between wake and sleep as i beat myself up, i finally got up at 5 to do it. Today it was effortless, i found myself waking up earlier than alarm even excited for the run
The runs are sooooo calming. I am also reaching a new level of gratitude, and Achilles heel manifested in 2 long talks with a very wise older man who moves like a 20 year old, also listens to sub, i got a big slice of humble pie without feeling defeated, it was beautiful.
I’ve also spen the last 4 months now doing a cold shower every single day. No exceptions, i walk around San Fran in a half sleeve shirt watching others in jackets and hands in their pockets shivering, it’s very empowering.
I’ve also not missed a single training, 6 days a week. I began holding 2 pound weights in my hands when i do my long runs there, and i hold this heavy and punishing jump rope, today was able to easily do 22 minutes.
All in all, im grateful.
