the stadium

i think when the national stadium is teared apart come the end of the year, i will miss it badly.
right now week in week out, i visit the stadium either to use the track or the gym over there.
just today i was feeling sluggish, or rather my calves were aching, or they seemed to be aching.
so i asked Father what i should do today. an easy run or a tempo run.
when i ran from my place to the stadium, my mind was sort of made up for a tempo.
and i realised i've been putting too much on the track during my past workouts.
so much so that i kinda dread tempo runs
till i ran the tempo run today, following the pace given in my schedule, and i found it comfortably hard.
comfortably hard.

it's so funny. for all that i've 'read' on runnersworld for the past few months, it is only this month when Father showed me on runnersworld "do not leave your everything on the track after any workout. leave the workout knowing you could do at least a lil more"
that explains my comfortably hard but enjoyable tempo today.
done in the weary sun after the drizzle. alone running 16 rounds around the track.
weather's erratic.
