ordinary time
as a runner, one of the more difficult things to do is to simply train for an extended length of time. honestly, it can be rather monotonous to log mile after mile without the energy and excitement that a race environment can bring.
in a sense, those daily training miles being logged could be thought of as the pocket change that you drop into a coin jar at the end of the day. while a few coins here or there really don’t amount to much, after awhile they add up to a tidy sum that you can spend on something you’ve been wanting.
essentially, i’ve moved into a “savings” mode for august and september with the intent of “spending” during the month of october. while i’m not exactly sure what race(s) i’ll spend my savings on, i’d like to think that waiting will make it worthwhile.
