Last week, I went running four times. This fell short of my goal, which is to run five times a week. I have found recently that this goal simply isn't feasible; I am just too busy and I expend too much energy at work to dedicate that much time to running. It's too bad, but oh well. (LO2)(LO4)
When I run, I enjoy several things about the experience. The first is the scenery. I usually head to the fortress, the harbour, to Kimpisen kenttä or into the woods behind my house.
The second is all the cool stuff I get to listen to in the process. I listen to podcasts, lectures or good music, mainly. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure that I would even exercise at all if I didn't have some sort of entertainment to distract me.
The third is, of course, the rush you get from exercising.
I've never been a skilled distance runner. Even though I have been running regularly for a few years now, I still haven't built up my endurance as much as one might expect. I'm not sure exactly how to go about improving it, but I'm also not terribly bothered by it, either. (LO1)
I had the coolest experience while running in the fortress Friday evening: foxes pop into view around here every now and again, but I've never been face-to-face with one before. As I was about to climb onto the steps heading down the hill from the fortress to the harbour, I crossed paths with a furry, red, intelligent-looking creature. It was the closest I'd ever been to a fox, and it regarded me calmly before it went on its way.
I didn't get a picture of the fox (I was glad simply to enjoy the moment rather than to desperately fumble for my phone), but I did snap some pictures of the incredible sunset this evening.
They're just snapshots, but I like them. I often tell my friends back home that I live in Skyrim. With a little more snow on the ground, these pictures would be good examples of what I mean by that.
