Confession: Lack of compassion

C

An email I sent to a friend: Open Door was very interesting..i walked in and there was a lady waiting outside. She is one of the regular-ers. She was saying how she needed a jacket now and cannot wait for tomrorow. To be honest, she was very rude and I do not want to help her.

Weekly Summary – By the numbers The weekend I had more free time and put it more training. Darren advised me to go easy as I pull my calve muscles on Monday. Today the weather was nice. Sunny and no clouds. I went out for a run in the trail. Very muddy. More pictures to show in the next post. For the week: 7 swims sessions – 5 hr 5 min – not sure how far I go as all I do are...

Running in midnight? In freezing rain? Or so this is what my friends thought. I was out running on Sun night. I came back by 9:30 pm. It started to pour later the night. I updated my Facebook at midnight and my friends thought I just came back from a run :o) On the training front, my right calve cramped up on Mon after a run. This run is much more exciting. The trail I normally run was flooded...
