Running is its own reward, of course, but I love that it also makes you better at things. Like, can you believe people actually run for health reasons, or to train for another sport? (Rather than for the love of running?) Incredible! But also great. I love that as a runner I make a good hiker, for example.
Anyway, last night I was running around Hoboken and discovered a reguluar Ultimate Frisbee pick-up game. Hung out for awhile and eventually got to play. Soooo much fun. What can beat the savage joy you get batting a frisbee out of the air, playing some good D? I need to work on my game a bit but made some good plays. Was a bit sore this morning from a few of the spills I took — the Astroturf field was a little slick from the rain. But I’m thinking this’ll be a regular game for me.
Anyway — off to Central Park, hoping to get in 18 miles today.
