A Well Deserved Nap

Hara's body would continue to yell at him, sending him signals that he needed to stop. By now he had been continuously jogging for 6 hours. The bottom of his feet hurt, his back and calves burned, and his lungs felt as if they were going to explode. And still, Hara pushed on. During his jog he thought about his time in the woods, and his time with his companion Bear. The pain of those times drove Hara to push harder, and he sped his pace up for the final stretch, his encampment now only another 30 minutes away from where he was. He grit his teeth at the pain his body sent him, forcing mind over matter and pushing through the pain.

Eventually, the dopamine from reaching this level of exhaustion would kick in- giving Hara a new wind and propelling him further. By the time he would reach his encampment the sun would have burned away any morning mist, leaving Haras small encampment just in sight as Hara got closer.

Upon getting back to his camp, it took everything for him to not immediately collapse onto his bed and sleep away the rest of the day. Before that could be done, Hara would do some simple stretches, and prepare a larger than normal meal for himself. All the while he would remain standing, forcing another moment of discipline. After doing his stretches and eating his meal he would finally allow himself to collapse onto his bed, quickly going into a deep sleep that only comes after a long morning of physical exertion.

Hara would wake later that day, his body sore from the morning workout. Rising from his makeshift bed he would relish in the pain and soreness of his muscles, a sign that what he had subjected himself to was worth it.

With that, Hara would leave his encampment and head back to the village, determined to find some missions he could be assigned.
