you versus
while i quietly sat on my couch, watching the final time trial of the Tour de France, the channel carrying the coverage cut to a promotional segment after a commercial break. it’s rare that anything really stands out for me while watching television, but the familiar sounds of Metallica’s “One” being covered by the cello-metal band Apocalyptica combined with the visions of a few of my favorite non-running sports (cycling & hockey) in addition to a motivating speech – – and you’ve got momentum.
i was able to muster 200 miles in july. while i haven’t started doing “long runs” per se, i have been getting very consistent with getting out the door. the 10K race early in the month was also a boost to my confidence that i’m starting to round back into form without major flare-ups from my right achilles.
