Crazy how important those three mornings are

Crazy how important those three mornings are.

Monday.

Wednesday.

Friday.

Each morning there’s a 25-mile roundtrip bicycle ride to the gym. About an hour each way, plus an hour in the gym.

And each bicycle ride means an additional day of no running.

i really like accumulating an increasing number of “rest-from-running” days.

Biking is healing a part of my whole that would be suffering if there was no legitimate replacement for running.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

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.

Live like you mean it every single day?

Living like you mean it is one of those streams of thought that rarely crosses our mind because we are busy carving out a life.

What if living like you mean it was actually how we spent our days?

If it was, it might look like the ordinary Monday i had yesterday. Two hours of writing, then a run to Magic Kingdom and back, before resuming the work day.
