Mile: 204.7
I couldn't run ONCE during my trip to Malawi, even with how much I wanted to. Running on a different CONTINENT, what a great concept! The problem is, potable water is hard to come by in the rural parts we were staying at, there are no running trails to speak of, all the roads nearby were unsafe for pedestrian traffic, and there was no one to run with me! (much less an ipod to listen to)
Wanna know something weird, though? I went for a run yesterday when I got back. It was an ordinary, run-of-the-mill 10k, and I went as fast as I could go. What's so weird about that?
I wasn't a single minute slower than my average 10k time before the trip began.
