i miss my bug

Posted: 6th Dec 2006

i saw this bug today on the way to the gym and it reminded me of the bug i had back in cape town ... it was white with a black roof and i called her "bug" ... original i know ... she was made in 1969 and had a few issues ... like quite often the carburetor would get blocked with gunk coming from the old fuel tank and i would have to strip the engine down on the side of the road and clean it out ... it wasn't much fun and it was a really dirty job but i loved her so i put up with it update so now after a few days at the gym i have realized that i am a running addict ... i do all my other workout stuff on the bikes and the machines and it's great and all but when i start running it feels completely different ... like i imagine a drug addict must feel when they get a hit of their drug ... i'm easily running 5 miles now over a hilly course at a decent 9 minute mile pace ... when i started running again a couple of years ago i didn't imagine i would actually become a "real" runner ... it's so cool
