I went out for a jog. Like I was saying in one of my previous posts, I enjoy running. Sometimes I have a lot of energy from the get go and I can tell I will have a good time . When my app tells me what my timing was for the first mile, it gives me an idea how my second mile is going to be.
When I went out today, my goal was to run 3 miles, because I always always always run 2 miles. So I was aiming for an extra mile today. Except it did not happen at all.
My timing was 10:28 in the first mile which is pretty much the worst ever. I was hoping to bring it down in the second mile and get a better average, but that didn't happen. My run ends at the house , and it marks my 2 mile track, but today my run did not end at the house. Which led me to believe that home is not always the destination. You always gotta go further.
So, chin up and look forward. It will happen.When I was running, I was thinking about what I am going to write today. I let my mind wonder. I was thinking about @HarukiMurakami and how he wrote about what he was thinking when he was running. I was thinking about my current situation and how hard it is not having a job, how I struggle to keep my shit together in the sense that I don't want to be defeated by the fact that I don't have a job. But a job for me right now is not just getting paid and having money, for me a job is a passion and career in Human Resources-which I really enjoy.
As far as my timing today, although I am bummed, it's just a small set back. I am not giving up.
Hope you all are enjoying your day and having a great Sunday.
Namaste!
