Easy run around the Charles. I ran much further than I expected; I underestimated the distance of the route I selected. I stopped for a burrito at Anna's near the end of the run, as Chipotle in Harvard Square had already closed. At around minute 45, a girl gingerly riding her bike passed me, and I deliberately increased my effort to keep up. She must have turned shortly after I retook the lead, because I didn't see her afterward.
Conditions were cold, with a temperature of 4 C and a 20 kph west wind. Near the end of the run, it started to drizzle, and I was grew quite cold. A sauna would have been delightful when I returned to my apartment.
I reflected on the need for balance in life. An individual must work hard and diligently at tasks and goals but balance that drive with consistent rest. Self-sufficiency must be balanced with interdependence for a romantic relationship or a team context to function. A need for introspection and self-awareness must be balanced by the ability to focus entirely on a task at hand. Ambition must be balanced by restraint, and discipline with fun. My life is less balanced than I deem necessary for the personal progress I seek in the near future, and I must address this.
Learned a new Spanish word: la llovizna - a drizzle or light rain.
