Man, I feel creaky. Just completed the Sundown half-marathon last night before the skies opened up and let loose. But it wasn't the luck of missing being drenched - it was more a case of ITB and knees protesting the distance they were asked to run on.
Creaked past the finish line after 2:30 hrs, and I was glad to be done. I was almost tempted to just give up after the ITB started to pull me up. Had to maintain a very slow and measured pace in case I overdid it. The knees also hurting at some point - thankfully nothing serious erupted.
Anyway, it's been 4 weeks since I've left my job, and returned to journalistic writing, and it feels good, and right! I guess it's a case of 'you don't' know what you've missed until it's gone'. Not sure what the next few weeks will bring, but I might continue down this vein if nothing much else comes along.
Strangely, I'm still quite busy with a few things - chief of them being an Animal Awareness Project that I'm spearheading with a bunch of volunteers - hopeful that will culminate into something concrete in October this year. WIll update the progress once we get our inaugural meetings underway next week.
Till, here's creaky bones signing off.
