Every so often, my training begins to go into a nose-dive, or tailspin, and the goals are set aside, the workouts minimized or elongated, and no principle or schedule is adhered to. These are the best runs.
I ran a time trial this morning at 6AM, went into Boston for scholarship ceremony (see coming pics), and then drove back to school in the Granite State, to run. Turns out we were running IN Boston, so back down I went.
We started running around 7:30pm, and with a little Gatorade, I felt as if I could have run until 7:30am.
Over those 10 or so hours, I realize how much running does for me. It clears my mind of worry, anxiety, and stress.
For when I run I am one with my mind and body and spirit.
