A Long Slow Run

I went for a long slow walk because I was in a mood for it.

I just left without setting any target in terms of distance.

There was no way I could tell exactly how many Ks I ran

because I had no running app on my cellphone.

But I had a rough idea of the distance from my past runs.

I took a familiar route in and around my neighboring area

within the radius of 8 K. 

It wasn't too cold, and winds were almost non-existent.

Perfect for a pleasant run.

I cruised at a comfortable pace of 5:52/K

to cover 13.6 K in a time of 1:19:53.

I didn't feel any pain in my legs,

and breathing was easy.

With one K remaining before reaching home,

I still had a reasonable amount of energy left in me,

so I put on a spurt, running at around my 10 K pace.

About half an hour after taking a shower to wash the sweat away,

I was engulfed with a feeling of minor euphoria

while I was having avocado with dried nori seaweed,

a piece of apple, and a decopon orange

to refuel myself with all the vitamins and minerals

lost in the exercise.
