Back to Journal  « Asimov's Science Fiction Hearts Telltale | Marathon Training Week 6 of 26: Eight Miles! | Rejection 161 » Marathon Training Week 6 of 26: Eight Miles! January 22, 2006 The running's going well. Eight miles today was no harder than seven last Sunday. Not easier either, though. I'm starting to think it's like prose writing: after seven years it's no easier to write stories, but when I am able to overcome the challenge these days, the finished stories are generally of higher quality. Interestingly enough, eight miles took exactly as long as seven. So yeah, real happy about the progress. I'm a little concerned, though, because all this running isn't helping my sleep like I'd expect it to. Ordinarily I can count on a noticeable reduction in my usual sleeplessness even after half-hour runs. If running for two hours doesn't knock me out, I wonder even if my old football two-a-days would help. But it all evens out. This week we'll hit the one-fourth mark in our training. Woohoo! |
