Didn’t start out thinking negative splits

Map My Run screen shot
Yesterday, didn’t start out thinking negative splits, it just happened.

 

Since i missed Monday’s run (an intentional miss because of work), during yesterday’s run i was more rested going into it.

i only run M-W-F, by the way.

In the process, the run turned into eight consecutively faster (negative) splits. The final mile is always a slow, cool down mile.

i had to smile at what blossomed from nothing. i had intended to have a leisurely pace the entire way.

On the eight mile, i wondered if i could go sub-eight minutes, without overdoing it.

No problem.

Felt good to be ordinary with a small exception

Map My Run screen shot
Yesterday’s run was ordinary, except for one thing – mile four.

 

Felt good to go nine miles. Felt good to dip near seven minutes in mile four. The little things can be good for our soul, if we aren’t too busy to notice.

Balance is not a myth

Windermere Prep School near Horse farm
Yesterday’s run included going down a street i haven’t been on, but pass nearly everyday. Our High School is beyond the horse (left).

 

Decent eight-miler yesterday morning.

Also a decent gym workout in the afternoon.

These are things that refresh not only our body, but also our mind and our spirit.

A trifecta of sorts.

Staying motivated looks easy for motivated people

Yesterday at 8:05am.

 

Yesterday’s running route came down to one simple question:

Should i run to the High School or to Disney’s Magic Kingdom?

Staying motivated looks easy for motivated people. But trust me, motivated people are using every trick in the book – plus inventing things – to keep motivation (and progress) alive.
