A Melody Played

I’ve been a little quiet although not mentally about this training. I was thinking along the same lines of the previous blog posts for a while and decided that nothing really clicked post wise fornrunning that I hadn’t already covered a lot and would probably cover a lot more. But then I did have a couple of good days including a pretty good speed workout that I was, for some reason, very anxious about beforehand (so much that the night before I had thought to do it in the AM I slept like garbage). I think that stems from both time management (before work) and heat management (after work). But the week worked out and I found myself having some of those peaceful moments when I ran even if it was a hard run for some reason.

I think that is part of the oxymoron part of running: to do it and do it welltakes work and discomfort. But if all you have is the discomfort there is no peace. It is about trying to find that peace and calm even amongst the pain, work and doubts. So, I found that I had some of those moments and they made me happy and helped with my focus and the long term goals that I still have which seem both so far away and so close.

*To a melody played
on the strings of our souls.
And a rhythm that rattled
us down to the bone.
