Today’s run was solid
I just realized that today is already 1st of July. How fast the time flies...
One thing I've noticed with running - even when it's very difficult I can break it down into pieces and simply focus on one stretch at a time - do precisely what I need to do right at that moment - relax, slow down my breathing, get back in control and keep putting one foot in front of the other. The moment I can calm my anxiety (e.g., when going up the hill) the rest is mechanics and I do it well. Then move on to the next stretch. Call it a process, call it a mind game - it works.
I wish life and work were that straightforward. My inner voice tells me that they are not that different than a challenging run, but I am not there yet.. to truly internalize it and handle it the same way.
The weather is "moody" again - not July-ish, but it doesn't matter. The nature is gorgeous around me as I run, and I thank you, my legs and my heart (long way from being hospitalized for the 'weak heart') that you can handle me.
I gather strength as I go.
- Until tomorrow
