'Ich Leibe Dich...'
Anadi and I were sitting in our office on the terrace....
Just us and a German gentleman...
We smiled and nodded often at one another, and then he indicated that we had too little language between us to communicate...
I know 'nein and ja' I said....
No and yes' he repeated after me laughing
'And Ich liebe dich'
'I Love you' he laughed some more..
'There we are...' I said 'what more do we need...?'
'Yes, no and I love you...' !
What more indeed....
I joined Anadi after intervalling alone on the harbour road....
I am discovering that my form is returning with more sleep and less work; more space to run and write...
To live my dream life...
I have been doing some work with people, and enjoying the engagement hugely; but I made a decision to not take any more work on and it has released me to run....
I felt very good running... I did a session of 10 x 500 metres with a full jog recovery, as at the moment I am appreciating the feeling of running fast, without the short recovery challenge !
I am relishing the freedom in my body and feeling my running body opening up...
I reflected as I jogged back along the road, that this time last year I was still injured with my Achilles' tendon and that it feels I have needed the whole year to approach form and any thoughts of aiming high again...
When I met up with Anadi after my session, I looked up the times of the best 55 year olds in the country over 10k...
And thought to myself... 'I wonder what is possible...'
I am ready to find out....
Aiming to see what is possible feels very different to striving for a time...
It feels fun and exciting, and accesses my enthusiastic inspired spirit of adventure and exploration...
