I ran hard today.<\/p>\n
While reading a story in David Mitchell’s book, Ghostwritten<\/em>, titled, “Holy Mountain.”<\/p>\n The last time someone recommended something titled <\/a>“Holy Mountain,”<\/a> it made me want to hurt that person.<\/p>\n I’m not a runner. It’s the mental focus that’s the hardest. But I ran 6 miles and I finished that fucking story.<\/p>\n It was about 70 years through the changing political face of China from the perspective of a woman who spends her life running a tea shop at the base of Holy Mountain. I ran and read that thing and never lost focus of either.<\/p>\n But I will admit I didn’t get much from that story, but I finished it.\u00a0 Only got to 6 miles because they were closing and I had to work out my shoulder before I left.<\/p>\n To be honest, I’ve never done more than 6 miles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I ran hard today.
