feels almost surreal running here. though the cold air gives me a little problem with my left shin, i'm starting to cope with it by keeping warm. but the feeling is great! the air is clear, the view is beautiful, and endurox here is cheap! not to mention the magazines which are discounted when bought in base. i picked up every issue of Runner's World since i got here, and i still find it hard to believe that i'm right here reading all these, being so close to those events or places the articles talk abt, and doing all the training tips on how to cope with the cold fall/winter weather. i even visited some of the shops that Bicycling magazine showcased in the Oct issue. like i said, surreal!!
