About four years ago I began to notice that I had to make an extra effort to motivate myself to go out and run after I came home from work. It was no longer an unconscious act when I got home, changed into running gear and I was out of the door in a jiffy.
And it has become a constant mind battle since then. The only interesting part is on the weekend I've never experienced this constant mind battle over run or not to run. As a matter of fact, the warmer the weather we get the earlier I hit the beach or the sidewalk.
Yesterday, it happened again. My mind was already on rationalize mode as I got off the train at my stop.
"You already ran 8 miles on Saturday."
"But you didn't run yesterday."
"Well....I walked miles and miles on Sunday."
The debate in my head went on and on until I saw another water web (I named them water web) on top of the plants near my apartment. This time most of the spider webs were weaved between 5 to 8 inches. The early drizzle in the afternoon trapped in the webs that looked like tiny hanging bridge from the side view.
After I spent about 20 minutes to capture the waterweb bridgeshot, I entered my apartment, changed into my running gear and went out to run. I ran about 5 miles. Only on my way back from Castle Island, it occurred to me that the excitement of watching waterweb bridge have temporarily wiped out my rationalize mode not to run.
Now, I have to look for some new excitement on my way home from work to shut up the debate in my head.
