I commented on my other blog the other day that one of the things I like about running is how I can build. I can set a goal, and then follow a plan that allows me to gradually build up to that goal. I know that is true for other forms of fitness: weight training, crossfit etc. But it is a part of running that appeals to me.
And I can sense that improvement in runs like this. I can feel that I am getting back to the point where I can do training runs like this.And from here start increasing my distance every week. And I am allowing the training app to do it's thing. Even if that means that I am not 'running' as fast for the entire time. Which is an adjustment, but one that I am learning is for the better long term.
I am trying to find ways to use these runs as a form of meditation. Trying to get an idea in my head just before I start, and then I can focus on that idea while I run, really ponder it and attack it mentally. That is a good time and place to do things like that.
