Win Beneath My Wings
Typo? Yes and no. I text myself after my run with notes so I can post a blog later. With such BIG hands (heehee he) I make typos and I typed "Win" instead of "Wind". I was going to change, it but it was seredipity. I realized I'm a WINNER!!! I'm doing something I love that I haven't done it years. I'm taking on my mental and physical obstacles that have been my excuse for years. I'm winning because when I succeed everyone benifits. My family and friends will get a healthier, balanced, and happier person. It's starting already . . .Yea for me!
Ok, back to my running notes. Today I decided I would concentrate on breathing, and my pace. I had to tell myself every 2 minutes, "It's not the distance, it's the Journey, so enjoy . . .Mr. Competitive". So I tried to listen to my breathing and pace myself based on my breathing. I think I improved my breathing but I know I need to do some research on it. ( that's the google geek in me )
Two of the biggest things were my recover time and my mind. It was awesome that my recover time to get my breathing down during the brisk walks were short. By the time I started to run again, I had totally relaxed my entire body . . . so when taking inventory I realized that I'm improving. The other great thing was my wandering mind. I was able to let my mind go and during the walks I found my mind wandering off in to never-never land and me not remember that time. It was like an out of body experience, minus the walking up with a hang-over. Then when the 5 minute cool down came, it only took a minute or two to get back to normal so I really got to enjoy it again!
Today's Success 8.5
Why? My body feels great! I enjoyed myself and my recover time and my wandering mind made me feel that I am still on the right track.
