just a runner

So I'm still sore today (big surprise). I guess it has been longer than I thought since I've had steady exercise. I used to run around my neighborhood a few years ago. I ran every night for several months. It did wonders for my fitness, and I got to the point where I didn't hate it so much. But that was during the winter when it gets dark at 5 p.m., 40 degrees is nice, and no one ever wants to be outside. I felt nice and alone. But now that it's summer, everyone and their brother is out in their yard grilling or washing their car or talking on the phone or walking their dogs. I just try to tell myself: 'you're just a runner. you are invisible. when was the last time you gave more than 2 seconds of thought to a runner you saw on the road?'. That helps :). I will run tomorrow but I think this will get worse before it gets better.
