Behám hocikde. — “Huh?”

Living in a country other than the US, I had the opportunity to learn a foreign language. Really, if someone lives somewhere, anywhere, he or she should at least attempt, if not learn fluently, that country’s language. So what would “Behám hocikde” mean? “I run anywhere.” It does not mean that I run to anywhere. It means that I run anywhere that I currently happen to be. Whether I am in the US or overseas, whether I am at home or at Grandma’s house–I run.

So far, since January, I have tracked times and distances of “runs.” The only problem is that I also included my five minute warm-up walk and then usually a five minute cool-down walk. That wasn’t smart. Now I want to get an accurate pace calculation, so I’m entering less mileage (the mileage that I actually run) and therefore less time into my log. Ugh. Now it doesn’t look so impressive. If just anyone happened across it, it would look like I’ve been cutting down mileage instead of building it up. Oh well. At least I know my real pace, and it’s about what I think and not what others think, right?

For two nights in a row I’ve slept 5 and a half hours. I’m not running any races anytime soon so I suppose it’s not that big of a deal, but I’m still a fan of getting 8 hours of sleep if possible. Good for the body, good for the brain, good for the nerves…
