yo. so i've been missing russia a lot the past couple of days. it all started with watching this movie with my dad. at one point this character comes home from france and she's in the airport with her family being happy. that made me think of coming home from russia, hence, making me miss russia. then i watched the movie UP with my friend kerry the other day. just the concept of "adventure" got me thinking about russia too. i dunno. The further away from siberia i get, the more dreamlike that time period seems to me in my mind. it's like i'm trying to hold on to this really heavy suitcase but my hands are full and all i have to hold on to it is my pinkie.
after work today, with russia and life twirling around my brain, i went for a run. i finally broke down that barrier i've been eyeing the past few weeks. i blasted through 2 miles and tore all the way to 6. it felt good to fiiiiinally find my rhythm. i've been looking for it ever since i started training and it hit me today around the 3 mile mark. and for the first time in a long time, my mind was completely blank during the entire run. i wasn't really thinking about anything except running which was ironically refreshing. its been quite some time since i ran without some burning question to ponder. overall, i feel at ease. about my running, and working, and school...
the summer came in like a lion but it has settled somewhere around a duck or some other water dwelling bird. just peaceful days filled with a slowpaced meandering walk/swim.
