Calm

Rain and Serendipity

It often rains for the entire rain of Caribana and this makes me happy. It makes me happy because when I complained to them about their noise pollution two or three years ago they gave me a boiler plate answer instead of doing something about it. I am currently staying away from my home until Sunday morning because I know that to stay home would drive me nuts. From what I see the Caribana is an event with just 6000 patrons or so, and yet they play the music so loud that it is impossible for me to do anything without hearing it from 18:00 - 03:00 from Wednesday night to Sunday morning.

Running Calmly

Weeks ago I started running again, but this time my goal is to run calmly. By this I mean that I ran until I felt pain, and stopped, over and over, until finally I ran with Wake Up and Ran and covered 5km. Since then I have been running 5k consistently. My goal is not to run fast and my goal is not to run further. My goal is to get my body used to running, without feeling pain or sore when the run is over.
