There was this woman in a blue shirt in the last event I did, ten whole days ago. She ran in front of me, steady as a metronome. At first I was bullish, picked her out as someone I could track for a while and then hopefully pick up - and I did. Then I had a spell in front of her, but stopped to grab some food. She tapped past, and gradually disappeared from view. Thinking that she might be in sight again just around the next corner kept me going, though.
I wish she lived around here somewhere. The last 10 days have been a bit frantic and I haven't run at all. I could have, but it was too easy to say 'maybe tomorrow,' or 'maybe when I get this piece of work done.' If she'd been running past my house every day, or I'd seen her running into town while I sat on the bus, I might have been motivated to try and follow her.
Motivation in the face of modern life? All too easily lost!
