Dear James, Daniel and Emily
I was at a party on Saturday, and saw a family friend, and she asked me if I was still running. To which my answer was of course, silly question. The thing is that answer still surprises me after the last couple of years. Just a couple of years ago the whole idea of running was just an odd thing that I never saw myself doing. Now I have a hard time imagining myself not running.
I took Sunday off, no reason, just didn't much feel like it. Which was kind of in line with my weekend goal of focusing on just relaxing mentally and just enjoying what I was doing, and not focusing on what I wasn't doing or needed to be doing. As much as I get out the meditative aspect of running, I still stress myself out sometimes, and need to get my head straight with other activities.
That said I still got up today and had a real good run, 4+ miles. Listened to music today instead of an audio book or podcast. I like the books, especially on the longer runs where pacing is not a concern. And the podcasts are similar. But music does make the run more of a time for me to think through things, because I can just let the music help with the pace, and allow my mind to focus on whatever subject I need to think through.
